The spatial structure of the dayside ionospheric trough [PDF]
Tomographic imaging provides a powerful technique for obtaining images of the spatial distribution of ionospheric electron density at polar latitudes. The method, which involves monitoring radio transmissions from the Navy Navigation Satellite System ...

Letter to the Editor: First complementary observations by ionospheric tomography, the EISCAT Svalbard radar and the CUTLASS HF radar [PDF]
Experimental results are presented from ionospheric tomography, the EISCAT Svalbard radar and the CUTLASS HF radar. Tomographic measurements on 10 October 1996, showing a narrow, field-aligned enhancement in electron density in the post-noon sector of

Ionospheric challenges of the International Polar Year [PDF]
Fifty years ago, the first International Geophysical Year (IGY) generated a huge step function increase in observations of ionospheric variability associated with the almost continuous geomagnetic activity experienced during the largest solar maximum of the past 100 years. In turn, these observations fueled more than a decade of theoretical advancement

HF propagation modelling within the polar ionosphere [PDF]
This paper illustrates the importance of understanding and taking into account the presence of various structural features in the polar ionosphere (in particular, patches and arcs of enhanced electron density) when planning and operating HF radio links.

Supersubstorms during strong magnetic storm on 7 September 2017 [PDF]
We analyzed the appearance of two supersubstorms observed during storm on September 07, 2017. Supersubstorms (SSS) are called substorms with SML index < - 2500 nT.

Transpolar aurora: time evolution, associated convection patterns, and a possible cause [PDF]
We present two event studies illustrating the detailed relationships between plasma convection, field-aligned currents, and polar auroral emissions, as well as illustrating the influence of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field's y-component on theta ...

Localized structure in the cusp and high-latitude ionosphere: a modelling study [PDF]
The ionospheric signature of a flux transfer event (FTE) seen in EISCAT radar data has been used as the basis for a modelling study using a new numerical model of the high-latitude ionosphere developed at the University of Sheffield, UK. The evolution

An extended TRANSCAR model including ionospheric convection: simulation of EISCAT observations using inputs from AMIE [PDF]
The TRANSCAR ionospheric model was extended to account for the convection of the magnetic field lines in the auroral and polar ionosphere. A mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian 13-moment approach was used to describe the dynamics of an ionospheric plasma tube ...
