Introduction: Slides For A Possible CCMC Presentation 2013
Introduction: Current IPS Systems IPS Advantage: Measures CMEs and corotating structures on their way to Earth Disadvantages: All arrays must map sources near their zenith, thus no information is available continuously. Single-site arrays produce less reliable IPS velocities than multi-site arrays. Small radio arrays provide information from only a few radio sources.
Currently Dedicated IPS Radio Systems The Ootacamund (Ooty), India off-axis parabolic cylinder 530 m long and 30 m wide (15,900 m2) operating at a nominal frequency of 326.5 MHz. New STELab IPS array in Toyokawa (3,432 m2 array now operates well – year-round operation began in 2011) Scintillation (Radio source passing array beam)
Density Turbulence • Scintillation index, m, is a measure of level of turbulence • Normalized Scintillation index, g = m(R) / <m(R)> • g > 1 enhancement in Ne • g 1 ambient level of Ne • g < 1 rarefaction in Ne (CourtesyofP.K.Manoharan) A scintillation enhancement with respect to the ambient wind identifies the presence of a region of increased turbulence/density along the line-of-sight to the radio source.

Currently-Operated Dedicated IPS Radio Systems The Pushchino Radio Observatory 70,000 m2 110 MHz array, Russia (summer 2006) Now named the “Big Scanning Array of the Lebedev Physical Institute” (BSA LPI).
Currently-Operated Dedicated IPS Radio Systems The MEXART Array, Near Morelia, Mexico. Operates at 140 MHz. Half of the 9,600 m2 area is now being used. The KSWC Array, Jeju, South Korea. Operates at 327 MHz. A small 32-tile system is being used. Estimate ~ 500 m2 area.
Other Potential Future IPS systems LOFAR (Western Europe) Richard Fallows Some parts of the large multi-site multi-frequency 10 – 190 MHz system are now operating - Richard Fallows, Mario Bisi are involved. IPS/FR tests are ongoing.
Other Potential Future IPS systems MWA (Western Australia) 128 tiles are now operating. The system has the potential to obtain multi-frequency (50- 240 MHz IPS data, but this has not been tried so far.

Time-Dependent Analysis Using Other IPS Systems IPS tomography with additional radio sources can be provided at times intermediate to a one-day cadence. The following case shows the insertion of an IPS source velocity from MEXART single-site analysis into what was primarily the STELab IPS UCSD 327 MHz kinematic tomography. The MEXART IPS velocity (that in this instance was nearly identical but intermediate in time to that from STELab) from 140 MHz data was inserted with appropriate line-of sight weighting for that frequency.Little change in the result is observed, as is appropriate in this instance. If a fast CME had erupted following the STELab observations it could have been “caught” by the IPS tomography.
