Operations, August 1996, Millstone Hill Observatory Millstone Hill Incoherent Scatter Radar Operations for August, 1996. The dates and times below are subject to change. The pointing position is chosen so that both the UNH Durham meteor wind radar and the MISA antenna observe a common volume at 100 km altitude. Coordinated radar and optical observations. Radar measurements taken in 10 directions will allow estimation of spatial gradients.
Clear weather is required.
Incoherent Scatter Coordinated Observation Days. The Wide Coverage experiment will be run. This provides wide latitude coverage, at the expense of a relatively long cycle time. It utilizes single pulses of varying lengths for fixed positions, azimuth scans, and elevation scans. Clear weather is required.
