      Schlatter, Nicola M.; Belyey, Vasyl; Gustavsson, Björn Johan; Ivchenko, Nickolay; Whiter, Daniel; Dahlgren, Hanna; Tuttle, Sam; Grydeland, Tom (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-20)
      Measurements of naturally enhanced ion acoustic line (NEIAL) echoes obtained with a five-antenna interferometric imaging radar system are presented. The observations were conducted with the European Incoherent SCATter (EISCAT) radar on Svalbard and the EISCAT Aperture Synthesis Imaging receivers (EASI) installed at the radar site. Four baselines of the interferometer are used in the analysis. Based ...
    • Enhanced EISCAT UHF backscatter during high-energy auroral electron precipitation 

      Schlatter, Nicola M.; Ivchenko, Nickolay; Sergienko, T; Gustavsson, Björn Johan; Brändström, B. U. E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Natural enhancements in the backscattered power of incoherent scatter radars up to 5 orders of magnitudes above the thermal backscatter are sometimes observed at high latitudes. Recently observations of enhancements in the backscattered power including a feature at zero Doppler shift have been reported. These enhancements are limited in altitude to tens of kilometers. The zero Doppler shift ...
    • Observations of HF-induced instability in the auroral E region 

      Schlatter, Nicola M.; Ivchenko, Nickolay; Gustavsson, Björn Johan; Leyser, Thomas; Rietveld, Michael T (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Enhancements were observed in backscattered radar power during an ionospheric heating experiment from two distinct altitude regions in the auroral E region above Tromsø. For the experiment the EISCAT Tromsø heater was operated with O mode and X mode alternated at 4.04 MHz, close to the 3rd electron gyroharmonic. Ion-line data recorded with the EISCAT UHF radar reveal different temporal ...

      Following the 38th Annual European Meeting on Atmospheric Studies by Optical Methods in Siuntio in Finland, an intercalibration workshop for optical low light calibration sources was held in Sodankylä, Finland. The main purpose of this workshop was to provide a comparable scale for absolute measurements of aurora and airglow. All sources brought to the intercalibration workshop were compared to the ...
