We present a progress report on new HF radar in Hokkaido, northern Japan. The planned Hokkaido radar is located at (43.5°, 143.6°) geographic coordinates and at geomagnetic latitude of ~ 37°, much lower than the existing SuperDARN HF radars. The funding for constructing Hokkaido radar was approved by the government for 2005 fiscal year. It will be the second mid-latitude SuperDARN radar, and the first one in East Asia. The radar can monitor the wide latitudinal range ( 38° to 65° in geomagnetic coordinates), which could not be covered by using the existing radars. Using this radar, we can deal with a wide variety of scientific targets, ranging from the magnetosphere/ionosphere to the thermosphere/mesosphere. In particular, Hokkaido is situated in an excellent location to monitor the energy budget between the polar and middle latitude regions, by collaborating with a wide variety of observation network such as high-latitude SuperDARN, 210° MM network, airglow imager network and Japanese GPS network (GEONET).
