The geophysical region probed by the Sondrestrom radar, the data acquisition procedure, and the extensive set of physical parameters derived are described. The incoherent-scatter radar, located in Sondre Stromfjord, Greenland, is the very high-latitude anchor of a meridional chain of four radars stretching a quarter of the way around the earth to the magnetic equator. The radar can probe the region below the magnetospheric cusp near noon, the polar cap near midnight, and the poleward portion of the auroral oval in between. Its location is favorable for the study of a wide variety of interactions among the magnetosphere, ionosphere, neutral atmosphere, and the effects of the solar wind, and interplanetary magnetic field on these interactions.
