Notes: 
We will conduct Reimei-EISCAT coordinated observations, 
to investigate fine-scale auroral height distribution, 
ion upflow, and ion anisotropy around the cusp 
(PIs: T. Sakanoi and S. Buchert). 
34 conjunctions are included in the following intervals:

2006/12/12 05:00-09:00 UT (4 hours, ESR):
  5:09, 6:47, 8:24 UT

  6:06, 9:20 UT ***
2006/12/16 06:00-10:00 UT (4 hours, ESR):
  6:25, 8:02, 9:39 UT
2006/12/17 04:50-08:50 UT (4 hours, ESR & VHF):
