Millstone Hill Observatory Operations Millstone Hill Incoherent Scatter Radar Operations for August, 1994. The dates and times below are subject to change. Coordinated radar and optical observations. Radar measurements taken in 10 directions will allow estimation of spatial gradients.
Clear weather is required.
The aim is to acquire two days of good data during the designated window. Local three-position measurements will be taken to investigate lower thermosphere tides and their coupling with F region phenomena. Alternating codes, a Barker code, and a long pulse will be used.
