Summary
Now break.
Moderate activity in the E and F region was found. However, it was cloudy
during the SP hour (00-01 UT)
Descriptions
of SPs
sp_ni_mi
We will make an optical campaign using aurora cameras, proton imagers and 4-wavelength photometer with tje EISCAT UHF radar. Clear sky and higher geomagnetic activity are desired. Although we made request for 5 nights, we will run only 3 nights depending on conditions.
ASK
Optical campaign with the ASK (auroral structure and kinetics) instrument
deployed at Tromso.
Experiments to be used are arc, tau2pl and a new experiment to be developed
Hours are from
UK(36) SW(20) NO(?)
