    • Dynamic rayed aurora and enhanced ion-acoustic radar echoes 

      Blixt, Erik Mårten; Ivchenko, N.; Hagfors, T.; Grydeland, Tom; Trondsen, T.S.; La Hoz, Cesar; Lanchester, B.S.; Løvhaug, Unni Pia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2005-01-31)
      The generation mechanism for naturally enhanced ion-acoustic echoes is still debated. One important issue is how these enhancements are related to auroral activity. All events of enhanced ion-acoustic echoes observed simultaneously with the EISCAT Svalbard Radar (ESR) and with high-resolution narrow field-of-view auroral imagers have been collected and studied. Characteristic of all the ...

    • Interferometric radar observations of filamented structures due to plasma instabilities and their relation to dynamic auroral rays. 

      Grydeland, Tom; Hagfors, T.; Trondsen, T.S.; Blixt, Erik Mårten; Løvhaug, Unni Pia; La Hoz, Cesar (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2004-04-02)
      Several explanations have been proposed for Naturally Enhanced ion-acoustic Echoes observed at midand high-latitude Incoherent Scatter observatories. A decisive measure for distinguishing between these explanations is whether or not simultaneously observed up- and downshifted enhancement occur simultaneously, or if they are the result of temporal and/or spatial averaging. The EISCAT Svalbard ...

    • Phase calibration of the EISCAT Svalbard Radar interferometer using optical satellite signatures. 

      Grydeland, Tom; Sullivan, J.M.; Blixt, Erik Mårten; Ivchenko, N.; Lockwood, M.; Lanchester, B.S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2006-09-20)
      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 ...

    • Relative drift between black aurora and the ionospheric plasma. 

      Blixt, Erik Mårten; Kosch, M.J.; Semeter, J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2005-07-27)
      Black auroras are recognized as spatially well-defined regions within uniform diffuse aurora where the optical emission is significantly reduced. Although a well studied phenomenon, there is no generally accepted theory for black auroras. One theory suggests that black regions are formed when energetic magnetospheric electrons no longer have access to the loss cone. If this blocking mechanism drifts ...
