Scientific paper

In February 1987, the Eiscat VHF system came into regular operation and the first full experiments were designed to observed the D-region. The hardware configuration, the radar modulation, and the analysis method, which differs from that employed for the E-region and above, are described. Examples of data obtained on two days are presented. The electron concentration is calculated, and tentative estimates of the ratio of negative ions to free electrons is made. The Doppler shifts in the received echoes are examined, and vertical plasma velocities are calculated which are assumed to represent the neutral air motion.
