Scientific paper

Radar observations of the Arctic mesopause region were conducted in Alaska during the summer of 2001 at the High Power Auroral Stimulation (HIPAS) Observatory and at the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) Facility. HIPAS, operating at 4.53 MHz, probed the mesosphere above Fairbanks from 80 to 90 km with 2 km height resolution and was sensitive to polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE). PMSE were seen for at least 50 % of the observation period. Two campaigns were carried out at HAARP, { ~} 300 km south of HIPAS, near Gakona, Alaska. The purpose of the experiments was to create a seasonal database of these phenomena. We describe the scientific program, discuss the geophysical conditions during the observations, and present some of the preliminary results.
