Objective
The EISCAT Scientific Association provides world-class research and training opportunities, in geophysics, signal processing, and high-powered radar systems, which can be made available to a wider user community. The Association owns and operates the World's leading incoherent scatter radars, and a powerful ionospheric modification facility. These systems are normally used for studies of the high latitude ionosphere and neutral atmosphere, but are also applicable to many other areas including studies of plasma physics, radio scattering processes, and the space environment.
This proposal seeks to provide support for up to four new users annually to visit the EISCAT facilities, receive help and support to design suitable experimental schemes, up to 24 hours of radar observing time, and assistance with the subsequent data processing, analysis, and interpretation. The EISCAT scientific and technical staff has extensive experience in providing this type of support to scientists from the existing Associate countries (Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom). The present proposal seeks to extend the availability of the systems to scientists from other countries, particularly those from countries, which have recently joined, or are seeking to join, the European Union.
The EISCAT radars represent a substantial investment in equipment and expertise in a unique European facility, which is the world-leader in the field. Access to the systems can provide excellent introductions to state of the art experimental facilities, atmospheric and ionospheric physics, and advanced signal processing as well as to EISCAT's scientific research community. The EISCAT Scientific Advisory Committee provides a competent review panel to evaluate, and to provide support for, experimental proposals from new users and user groups. A similar, smaller and internally funded, programme has supported a number of users from non-EISCAT countries in recent years.
