Scientific paper

Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) data represent the most comprehensive observations of the temporal behavior of the main parts of the ionosphere, and the associated atmosphere, available. As such, the radars are invaluable tools in characterizing the ionospheric response to energy flows in the Solar-Terrestrial system. Developments in radar operations and reliability now allow very extended data sets to be produced on a fairly routine basis and plans for the International Polar Year (IPY) include the continuous operation of at least one high latitude radar. Using data from two very different 30-day `World Day' co-ordinated observation periods in Autumn 2005 and Spring 2006, we illustrate the utility of such data sets for, inter alia, space weather observation and modeling and discuss the possible future development of such programs using the EISCAT Svalbard Radar, the soon to be completed Advanced Modular Incoherent Scatter Radar (AMISR), and the EISCAT_3D radar (currently being designed).
