Scientific paper

Some results are presented from initial VHF observations which illustrate the ability of the EISCAT Svalbard radar to determine polar wind characteristics; but the limitations of these studies, due to the geomagnetic location of the EISCAT facility at the southern boundary of the auroral zone, are discussed. The EISCAT Svalbard radar, located near or within the polar cap and under the polar cusp region in the noon sector, will offer outstanding new opportunities; particular emphasis is placed on the effects of closed-open magnetic flux tube conditions on polar wind characteristics and their observation with this new radar.
