History of EISCAT – Part 6: the participation of Japan in the EISCAT Scientific Association [PDF]
In Sect. 1, the original planning of Japanese Svalbard IS (incoherent scatter) radar with phased-array antennas is described. In 1988, this plan was proposed as one of the major projects for the forthcoming Solar–Terrestrial Environment Laboratory ...

Automated detection of satellite contamination in incoherent scatter radar spectra [PDF]
Anomalous ion line spectra have been identified in many experiments. Such spectra are defined as deviations from the standard symmetric "double-humped" spectra derived from incoherent scatter radar echoes from the upper atmosphere. Some

D- and E-region effects in the auroral zone during a moderately active 24-h period in July 2005 [PDF]
International audienceThe effects of energetic electron precipitation into the auroral region at a time of enhanced solar wind have been investigated during a continuous period of 24 h, using the European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) radar, an imaging ...

A localised co-rotating auroral absorption event observed near noon using imaging riometer and EISCAT [PDF]
International audienceAn isolated region of energetic electron precipitation observed near local noon in the auroral zone has been investigated using imaging riometer (IRIS) and incoherent-scatter radar (EISCAT) techniques.

Ground-based observations of the auroral zone and polar cap ionospheric responses to dayside transient reconnection [PDF]
Observations from the EISCAT VHF incoherent scatter radar system in northern Norway, during a run of the common programme CP-4, reveal a series of poleward-propagating F-region electron density enhancements in the pre-noon sector on 23 November ...
