      This paper mainly aims at evaluating capabilities of derivation of ionospheric conductivities using two principal auroral emissions (427.8 and 630 nm). We have evaluated a photometric method of derivation of ionospheric conductivities based on simultaneous observations of a photometer (feld of view = ~1.2°), a digital camera, and the EISCAT UHF radar (feld of view = ~0.7°) operated at Tromsø, ...

      Lorentzen, Dag Arne; Lunde, June; Gustavsson, B; Ogawa, Y; Løvhaug, U.P.; Ogawa, Yasunobu (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007)
      In this paper we present Naturally Enhanced Ion Acoustic Lines (NEIALs) observed with the EISCAT Svalbard Radar (ESR). For the first time, long sequences of NEIALs are recorded, with more than 50 events within an hour, ranging from 6.4 to 140 s in duration. The events took place from ~08:45 to 10:00 UT, 22 January 2004. We combine ESR data with observations of optical aurora by a meridian scanning ...
    • Survey of conditions for artificial aurora experiments at EISCAT Tromsø using dynasonde data 

      Tsuda, T. T.; Rietveld, Michael T; Kosch, Michael J.; Oyama, S; Hosokawa, K.; Nozawa, Satonori; Kawabata, T; Mizuno, A; Ogawa, Y (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-14)
      We report a brief survey on conditions for artificial aurora optical experiments in F region heating with O-mode at the EISCAT Tromsø site using dynasonde data from 2000 to 2017. The results obtained in our survey indicate the following: The possible conditions for conducting artificial aurora experiments are concentrated in twilight hours in both evening and morning, compared with late-night hours; ...
    • Survey of conditions for artificial aurora experiments by the second electron gyro-harmonic at EISCAT Troms? using dynasonde data 

      Tsuda, T. T.; Rietveld, Michael T; Kosch, M.J; Oyama, S; Ogawa, Y; Hosokawa, K.; Nozawa, S; Kawabata, T; Mizuno, A (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-06)
      We report a brief survey of matching conditions for artificial aurora optical experiments utilizing the second electron gyro-harmonic (2.7-MHz frequency) in F region heating with O-mode at the EISCAT Tromsø site using dynasonde data from 2000 to 2017. Our survey indicates the following: The possible conditions for successful artificial aurora experiments are concentrated on twilight hours in both ...
