ISR World Day campaign (ad-hock) • Radars were supposed to be on alert starting Jan 15, 2013 • SSW came earlier • Most radars participated – required revision/reschedule of other experiments and maintenance • High-latitude radars: Sondrestrom ISR, Resolute Bay ISR (RISR), EISCAT – data available later; PFISR
PFISR • Strong wave activity – Jan 4, 2013 • Courtesy Mike Nicolls
Millstone Hill ISR • Main coverage periods: • Jan 4-6, 2013 – wave 1, vortex-shift; • Jan 10-15 – wave 2, vortex split • Other data – Jan 17-18, Jan 24 – Van Allen coverage • Day and night data in the F-region: NEL, Ti, Te, Vi, electric field, merid. wind; E-region neutral wind
Arecibo ISR Operations on Jan 8-22, 2013; ongoing experiment since Jan 22 Nighttime gaps on Jan 13-16 (? – need to verify) for astronomy experiments
Arecibo and Millstone Hill FPIs • Good quality, nightly data (clear skies) • Red line – wind and temperature data • Green line available • John Noto’s group is working on the analysis
Jicamarca vertical drift • JULIA data Jan 1-14, 2013 • Periods with both suppressed and enhanced vertical drift
