タイトル: An Introduction to EISCAT_3D
要旨: This seminar will focus on describing the preparations for the new EISCAT_3D radar facilities. EISCAT_3D will be a phased-array radar system using the incoherent scatter technique to study the atmosphere in the Fenno-Scandinavian Arctic and to investigate how the Earth's atmosphere is coupled to space. The baseline design suggests a core site that will be located close to the intersection of the Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish borders and four receiving sites located within approximately 50 to 250 km from the core. The project is currently in its preparatory phase and can smoothly transit into implementation in 2014, provided that sufficient funds are allocated. The current EISCAT Association is funded by China, Finland, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom; all members support the plans for the new systems and the national user communities prepare for the submission of funding proposals. The presentation shows typical incoherent scatter observations as well as other radar observations that can be done with the system, and then describes the status of the EISCAT_3D project.
