Electron Energy Spectrum and Auroral Power Estimation From Incoherent Scatter Radar Measurements
Virtanen, Ilkka I.; Gustavsson, Björn Johan; Aikio, Anita; Kero, Antti; Asamura, Kazushi; Ogawa, Yasunobu (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-23)Differential energy flux of electrons precipitating into the high‐latitude ionosphere can be estimated from incoherent scatter radar observations of the ionospheric electron density profile. We present a method called ELSPEC for electron spectrum estimation from incoherent scatter radar measurements, which is based on integration of the electron continuity equation and spectrum model selection by ... -

McCrea, Ian W.; Aikio, Anita; Alfonsi, Lucilla; Belova, Evgenia; Buchert, Stephan C.; Clilverd, Mark; Engler, Norbert; Gustavsson, Björn Johan; Heinselman, C.; Kero, Johan; Kosch, Mike; Lamy, Herve; Leyser, Thomas; Ogawa, Yasunobu; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Pellinen-Wannberg, Asta; Pitout, Frederic; Rapp, Markus; Stanislawska, Iwona; Vierinen, Juha (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-29)The EISCAT (European Incoherent SCATer) Scientific Association has provided versatile incoherent scatter (IS) radar facilities on the mainland of northern Scandinavia (the EISCAT UHF and VHF radar systems) and on Svalbard (the electronically scanning radar ESR (EISCAT Svalbard Radar) for studies of the high-latitude ionised upper atmosphere (the ionosphere). The mainland radars were constructed ...
