• 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 ...
    • 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 ...
