2007 Workshop:The Poker Flat 2007 Winter Campaign
From CedarWiki
Contents |
Introduction
In January and February 2007, a total of ten sounding rockets were launched from Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska. This was an unusually large number of launches, in part to take advantage of the new measurement capabilities provided by the AMISR radar, which was recently installed at Poker Flat. The campaign represents the first extended operation of the new incoherent scatter radar instrumentation at that site. A number of other radar and optical instruments were also operated during the campaign. The rocket experiments had a variety of objectives, but common themes were investigations of Joule heating, neutral circulation, and small-scale structure in the plasma and neutral flow. The campaign provided an exceptionally detailed view of the neutral dynamics, electrodynamics, and plasma physics of the high-latitude thermosphere and ionosphere. The workshop will deal primarily with the measurements obtained during the 2007 campaign, although other measurements or results that are relevant to the objectives of the campaign will also be included, as appropriate.
