TL;DR: The Dual Auroral Radar Network (DARN) is a global-scale network of HF and VHF radars capable of sensing backscatter from ionospheric irregularities in the E and F-regions of the high-latitude ionosphere as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Data from the northern lowlands of Chryse Planitia have revealed a shallowly buried quasi-circular structure about 250 kilometers in diameter that is interpreted to be an impact basin and a planar reflector associated with the basin structure may indicate the presence of a low-loss deposit that is more than 1 kilometer thick.
Journal ArticleDOI
STARE: A new radar auroral backscatter experiment in northern Scandinavia
TL;DR: In this article, a two-station VHF radar auroral experiment, STARE, has been constructed in northern Scandinavia, where each of these stations can provide good spatial and temporal resolution measurements of the intensity and Doppler velocity of radar ionospheric irregularities within a 300,000 km2 scattering region.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The ice-rich south polar layered deposits of Mars were probed with the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding on the Mars Express orbiter, suggesting a composition of nearly pure water ice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Joint two-dimensional observations of ground magnetic and ionospheric electric fields associated with auroral zone currents: current systems associated with local auroral break-ups
TL;DR: In this paper, three consecutive local auroral break-ups were observed over Scandinavia, each of which was preceded by a clear fading of the aurora and magnetic fields (while the electric fields remained unaffected), and occurred slightly south of the Harang discontinuity in the region of north-westward-directed electric fields.
