Overview of the Rocket Experiment for Neutral Upwelling Sounding Rocket 2 (RENU2) [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 AbstractThe Rocket Experiment for Neutral Upwelling 2 (RENU2) rocket was launched on 13 December 2015 at 07:34 UT. The payload transited the cusp region during a neutral upwelling event, supported by a comprehensive set of onboard and ground‐based instrumentation. RENU2 data highlight two important processes.
