Earth Ionosphere: Electrodynamics, Earth Ionosphere: Interplanetary Magnetic Field
Scientific paper
This paper is motivated by the new EISCAT capability to be realized upon completion of the Svalbard facility, in conjunction with the projected Andoya capabilities. These, especially within the context of opportunities for coordinated satellite measurements, afford most exciting prospects for the decade ahead. This paper discusses the role of the incoherent scatter radar (ISR), its mapping capabilities, and the tailoring of modes of its operation to different polar cap research goals. This tailoring is also dependent on the coordinated complementary measurements. To give these considerations concreteness, they are discussed within the context of polar cap research findings. The distinguishing character of northward vs. southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) polar ionospheric conditions is noted. Progress and shortfalls in understanding are noted, within the context of key experiments, particularly involving ISR and complementary diagnostics. These relate to electrodynamics, thermal and density structure, energetics and instabilities.
