Scientific paper
The scientific case for installing a technically advanced, incoherent scatter radar on the archipelago of Svalbard is presented, and a possible design specification is outlined. The objective was to define the next key initiative in ground-based studies of the earth's upper atmosphere, magnetosphere, and ionosphere. The initiative should provide superior research opportunities in solar-terrestrial physics over a time-scale extending into the next century. An additional goal is that any new incoherent scatter radar on Svalbard should complement the existing EISCAT radars by allowing joint operations. Scientific and technical details are provided for siting such an advanced incoherent scatter radar at this location.
