Experiment name: FAI

Description: Study on artificially induced FAIs using EISCAT heater, 
             UHF and SuperDARN radars

Notes: 
FAIs artificially induced by ionospheric heater are ideal Targets 
for studying creation and decay processes of FAIs. Though some or 
many of such studies including those with heater, IS UHF radar(s) 
together with SuperDARN radars, this time we'll use SuperDARN TMS 
mode possibly with multi-frequency FDI technique together with 
Tromso UHF radar which latitudinally sweeping over the heater 
induced regions. This technique will, we hope, provide important 
information to reveal the essential physical creation/decay 
processes of FAIs.

Arc1 pulse code and sweeping_pattern.elan will be used for the 
Tromso UHF radar observation.

Schedule: 
Feburary 16, 10-12 UT (Tromso UHF radar and heating)
Feburary 23, 10-12 UT (Tromso UHF radar and heating)
Feburary 26, 10-12 UT (Tromso UHF radar and heating)
Feburary 27, 10-12 UT (Tromso UHF radar and heating)
