Journal ArticleDOI
Arecibo heating experiments
W. E. Gordon,H. C. Carlson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, high power radio waves are produced by a 160 kw transmitter feeding a log-periodic pair of curtains mounted at the focus of the 1000-ft reflector and covering the frequency range from 5 to 12 MHz.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct observations of injection events of subauroral plasma into the polar cap
H. C. Carlson,Joran Moen,Joran Moen,Kjellmar Oksavik,Chris P. Nielsen,Ian McCrea,Todd Pedersen,P. Gallop +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the poleward-moving-form mechanism is shown to be dominant in polar cap ionospheric patch generation by magnetopause reconnection, continuously from subauroral latitudes before the event fires, through the cusp and into the polar cap.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the diurnal variability in F2-region plasma density above the EISCAT Svalbard radar
TL;DR: In this paper, two long runs of EISCAT Svalbard Radar (ESR) have been analyzed with respect to variability in the F2 region peak density and altitude, consistent with solar wind controlled transport of EUV ionized plasma across the polar cap from day to night.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-instrument mapping of the small-scale flow dynamics related to a cusp auroral transient
Kjellmar Oksavik,Kjellmar Oksavik,Joran Moen,H. C. Carlson,R. A. Greenwald,Stephen E. Milan,Mark Lester,W. F. Denig,Robin J. Barnes +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 30-60 km wide flow channel surrounded by flow running in the opposite direction is studied in great detail from when it formed equatorward of the cusp aurora, near magnetic noon, until it left the field-of-view and disappeared into the polar cap.
Journal ArticleDOI
EISCAT observations of plasma patches at sub-auroral cusp latitudes
Joran Moen,Joran Moen,H. C. Carlson,Kjellmar Oksavik,Chris P. Nielsen,S. E. Pryse,H. R. Middleton,Ian McCrea,P. Gallop +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a sequence of 3 patches of high-density (1012 m−3) cold plasma on a horizontal scale-size of 300-700 km was observed near magnetic noon by the EISCAT VHF radar above Svalbard on 17 December 2001.
