Journal ArticleDOI
A decade of the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN): scientific achievements, new techniques and future directions
Gareth Chisham,Mark Lester,Steve Milan,Mervyn P. Freeman,William A. Bristow,Adrian Grocott,Kathryn A. McWilliams,J. M. Ruohoniemi,Tim K. Yeoman,Peter. Dyson,R. A. Greenwald,Takashi Kikuchi,Michael Pinnock,J.P.S. Rash,Noriaki K. Sato,George J. Sofko,Jean-Paul Villain,Anthony Walker +17 more
TL;DR: The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) as discussed by the authors has been operating as an international co-operative organization for over 10 years and has been successful in addressing a wide range of scientific questions concerning processes in the magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere, as well as general plasma physics questions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Observations of the Evolution of Polar Cap Ionization Patches
Qing-He Zhang,Bei-Chen Zhang,Mike Lockwood,Hongqiao Hu,Joran Moen,J. Michael Ruohoniemi,Evan G. Thomas,Shun-Rong Zhang,Huigen Yang,Rui-Yuan Liu,Kathryn A. McWilliams,Kathryn A. McWilliams,J. B. H. Baker +12 more
TL;DR: The authors' observations show that modulation of nightside reconnection in the substorm cycle of the magnetosphere helps form the gaps between patches where steady convection would give a “tongue” of ionization (TOI).
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereo CUTLASS - A new capability for the SuperDARN HF radars
Mark Lester,P. J. Chapman,Stanley W. H. Cowley,S. J. Crooks,J. A. Davies,J. A. Davies,P. Hamadyk,Kathryn A. McWilliams,Steve Milan,M. J. Parsons,D. B. Payne,E. C. Thomas,J. D. Thornhill,N. M. Wade,Tim K. Yeoman,R. J. Barnes +15 more
TL;DR: The first results of a significant new development of the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) are presented, which involves the addition of a duplicate receive channel and makes use of the spare duty cycle available in the current transmitters.
Journal ArticleDOI
A statistical survey of dayside pulsed ionospheric flows as seen by the CUTLASS Finland HF radar
TL;DR: In this paper, the frequency of pulsed ionospheric flow bursts in the noon-sector high-latitude ionosphere was analyzed using the CUTLASS Finland HF radar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Day-night coupling by a localized flow channel visualized by polar cap patch propagation
Yukitoshi Nishimura,Larry R. Lyons,Ying Zou,Kjellmar Oksavik,Kjellmar Oksavik,Joran Moen,Joran Moen,Lasse Boy Novock Clausen,Eric Donovan,Vassilis Angelopoulos,Kazuo Shiokawa,J. M. Ruohoniemi,Nozomu Nishitani,Kathryn A. McWilliams,Mark Lester +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, coordinated observations of the dayside poleward moving auroral form (PMAF) evolved into a polar cap airglow patch that propagated across the polar cap and then nightside poleward boundary intensifications (PBIs).
