Millstone Hill Observatory Operations Millstone Hill Incoherent Scatter Radar Operations for February, 1994. The dates and times below are subject to change. Investigate exit of ionization patches from the midnight sector polar cap. Azimuth and elevation scans to the north will be included.
Efforts are underway to identify the source.
A joint radar, Fabry-Perot campaign. Simultaneous observations of the He 1083 nm triplet and incoherent scatter topside measurements will be used to determine the neutral and ion composition of the exosphere. Clear weather required. Long pulse and local three position radar measurements will be taken. Coordinated radar and optical observations.
