G04: Advances in Incoherent Scatter Radar (2)

Monday, August 18  16:00-17:20,  Room #14

Session Chairs: Frank Lind, Ingemar Haggstrom, Marco Milla

This session will focus on advances in the field of incoherent scatter radar measurement of the Geospace environment. Incoherent scatter radar provides powerful measurement capabilities for study of the Ionosphere and its coupling to the lower atmosphere and magnetosphere. Instrument capabilities are rapidly evolving with new radars, operational modes, and measurement techniques. Papers which focus on new developments in incoherent scatter radar systems, analysis techniques, technology, and science applications are welcome. This session will also foster collaboration among the global community of Geospace Radar systems to encourage coordinated scientific and technical efforts.
