Hierarchical deconvolution for incoherent scatter radar data [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2022 We propose a novel method for deconvolving incoherent scatter radar data to recover accurate reconstructions of backscattered powers. The problem is modelled as a hierarchical noise-perturbed deconvolution problem, where the lower hierarchy consists of ...

A technique for volumetric incoherent scatter radar analysis [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2023 Volumetric measurements of the ionosphere are important for investigating spatial variations of ionospheric features, like auroral arcs and energy deposition in the ionosphere.

History of the Tromsø ionosphere heating facility [PDF]
History of Geo- and Space Sciences, 2022 We present the historical background of the construction of a major ionospheric heating facility, “Heating”, near Tromsø, Norway, in the 1970s by the Max Planck Institute for Aeronomy; we also detail the facility's subsequent operational history to the ...

Difference spectrum fitting of the ion–neutral collision frequency from dual-frequency EISCAT measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2023 The plasma–neutral coupling in the mesosphere–lower thermosphere strongly depends on the ion–neutral collision frequency across that region. Most commonly, the collision frequency profile is calculated from the climatologies of atmospheric models ...

A comparison of EISCAT and Dynasonde measurements of the auroral ionosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1996 Incoherent-scatter radar and ionospheric sounding are powerful and complementary techniques in the study of the Earth's ionosphere. The work presented here involves the use of the Tromsø Dynasonde as a correlative diagnostic with the EISCAT incoherent-

Irkutsk Incoherent Scatter Radar: history, present and future [PDF]
History of Geo- and Space Sciences, 2019 The article focuses on the history of ionospheric research using the incoherent scatter method at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics and development of the only incoherent scatter radar in Russia, which is located near Irkutsk.

Letter to the Editor: A comparison of F-region ion velocity observations from the EISCAT Svalbard and VHF radars with irregularity drift velocity measurements from the CUTLASS Finland HF radar [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2000 During August 1998, the UK EISCAT special programme SP-UK-CSUB, which combines operation of both the mainland VHF and Svalbard UHF incoherent scatter radars, was run for several hours around magnetic midnight on four consecutive days.

First EISCAT measurement of electron-gas temperature in the artificially heated D-region ionosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2000 The ionospheric electron gas can be heated artificially by a powerful radio wave. According to our modeling, the maximum effect of this heating occurs in the D-region where the electron temperature can increase by a factor of ten.

Aspect sensitive E- and F-region SPEAR-enhanced incoherent backscatter observed by the EISCAT Svalbard radar [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2009 Previous studies of the aspect sensitivity of heater-enhanced incoherent radar backscatter in the high-latitude ionosphere have demonstrated the directional dependence of incoherent scatter signatures corresponding to artificially excited ...
