      Bjoland, Lindis Merete; Ogawa, Y.; Løvhaug, Unni Pia; Lorentzen, Dag Arne; Hatch, Spencer Mark; Oksavik, Kjellmar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-16)
      This paper presents and discusses electron density depletion regions observed with the incoherent scatter EISCAT Svalbard Radar (ESR) located at 75.43°N geomagnetic latitude. The data include several decades of measurements, which make them suitable for studying statistical features and characteristics of the ionospheric parameters. Here we focus on the electron density depletions and their dependence ...
    • Generation of the lower-thermospheric vertical wind estimated with the EISCAT KST radar at high latitudes during periods of moderate geomagnetic disturbance 

      Brekke, Asgeir; Oyama, S; Watkins, B. J.; Maeda, S.; Shinagawa, H.; Nozawa, S.; Ogawa, Y.; Lathuillere, C.; Kofman, W. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-06-11)
      Lower-thermospheric winds at high latitudes during moderately-disturbed geomagnetic conditions were studied using data obtained with the European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) Kiruna-Sodankylä-Tromsø (KST) ultrahigh frequency (UHF) radar system on 9–10 September 2004. The antenna-beam configuration was newly designed to minimize the estimated measurement error of the vertical neutralwind speed in the ...
    • Thermospheric atomic oxygen density estimates using the EISCAT Svalbard Radar 

      Vickers, Hannah; Kosch, M. J.; Sutton, E.; Ogawa, Y.; La Hoz, Cesar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Coupling between the ionized and neutral atmosphere through particle collisions allows an indirect study of the neutral atmosphere through measurements of ionospheric plasma parameters. We estimate the neutral density of the upper thermosphere above ~250 km with the European Incoherent Scatter Svalbard Radar (ESR) using the year-long operations of the International Polar Year from March 2007 to ...
