An imaging interferometry capability for the EISCAT Svalbard Radar
Interferometric imaging (aperture synthesis imaging) is a technique used by radio astronomers to achieve angular resolution that far surpasses what is possible with a single large aperture. A similar technique has been used for radar imaging studies of equatorial ionospheric phenomena at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory. We present plans for adding an interferometric imaging capability to the EI...
متن کاملPhase calibration of the EISCAT Svalbard Radar interferometer using optical satellite signatures
The link between natural ion-line enhancements in radar spectra and auroral activity has been the subject of recent studies but conclusions have been limited by the spatial and temporal resolution previously available. The next challenge is to use shorter sub-second integration times in combination with interferometric programmes to resolve spatial structure within the main radar beam, and so r...
متن کاملA study of Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances and Atmospheric Gravity Waves using EISCAT Svalbard Radar IPY-data
We present a statistical study of Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (TIDs) as observed by the EISCAT Svalbard Radar (ESR) during the continuous IPY-run (March 2007–February 2008) with field-aligned measurements. We have developed a semi-automatic routine for searching and extracting Atmospheric Gravity Wave (AGW) activity. The collected data shows that AGW-TID signatures are common in the high...
متن کاملDetecting Narrow, Field-aligned Spatial Structures in the Auroral Ionosphere Using the Eiscat Svalbard Radar Dual Antennas as an Interferometer
In order to provide observations to help decide between competing theories of Anomalous Ion Spectra (AIS) observed at several Incoherent Scattering Radar (ISR) observatories, to explore the possibility of any connection between this phenomenon and visible auroral forms, and to see if enhanced scattering is due to localised scattering structures, we have used the two antennas of the EISCAT Svalb...
متن کاملElectromagnetic energy deposition rate in the polar upper thermosphere derived from the EISCAT Svalbard radar and CUTLASS Finland radar observations
From simultaneous observations of the European incoherent scatter Svalbard radar (ESR) and the Cooperative UK Twin Located Auroral Sounding System (CUTLASS) Finland radar on 9 March 1999, we have derived the height distributions of the thermospheric heating rate at the F region height in association with electromagnetic energy inputs into the dayside polar cap/cusp region. The ESR and CUTLASS r...
