l AAEV: Aspect angle effects in the velocity of E-region coherent echoes
l A multi-instrument campaign involving EISCAT, CUTLASS (special mode), and
STARE. The
requested time is overscheduled and cancellation will occur depending on
geophysical conditions (moderate to disturbed). The AAEV campaign is
coordinated with the CRASE experiment so that if one is cancelled then another
one will be run or vice versa. Altogether (AAEV+CRASE) 46 hours are requested
while only 34 will be used.
