Description
This volume comprises 22 papers which were presented at Workshop V of the COSPAR 27th Plenary Meeting held in Espoo, Finland in July 1988. The technique of incoherent scatter is now 30 years old and the consistency with which it has measured parameters like electron concentration and electron temperature by totally independent methods has indicated the general accuracy of the method. The breadth of activity which characterises recent IS-based research indicates that the field is vital and growing, and incoherent scatter radars still provide the most powerful tool for probing the ionosphere from the ground. Research areas discussed covered large spatial scale studies concentrating on the electric field, the ionospheric trough and the global thermosphere, and those medium to small scale studies of auroral features, sporadic E and flow bursts utilizing the new techniques and capabilities of the EISCAT system. The emphasis was on high latitude and auroral phenomena, using information obtained by the three high latitude IS radars (EISCAT, Sondrestromfjord and Millstone Hill) used for studying convection dynamics and related phenomena.
