Scientific paper

A joint campaign involving EISCAT, the Cornell University Portable Radar Interferometer (CUPRI), and sounding rockets has observed short-lived elevations of E-region electron temperatures, indicating the presence of strong electric fields. The use of a new pulse-code technique has considerably improved the EISCAT data in regions of low ionospheric electron densities. It has been found that strong and apparently short-lived enhancements of electric fields and associated E-region electron temperatures occur more commonly than long-lived ones. However, earlier EISCAT data with simultaneous optical recordings (and also some CUPRI radar data from the ERRRIS campaign) indicate that many of these events are, in fact, not short-lived, but occur in localized regions and are associated with drifting auroral forms.
