The EQUIS 2 sounding rocket campaign was carried out at Kwajalein atoll in the central Pacific in August and September 2004. The campaign represents the first new sounding rocket measurements in the equatorial region in over a decade. The campaign provided new measurements of both E-region and lower F region electrodynamics and plasma irregularities. In addition to the in situ measurements, the campaign provided an extensive incoherent scatter radar data set obtained with the dual-frequency, fully-steerable ALTAIR radar which operated on approximately half the nights during the campaign period. The workshop will focus on results from the campaign, as well as related results dealing with equatorial dynamics.
