Notes of the EISCAT Svalbard radar observations
               (Last updated on July 25, 2008.)

Reimei-ESR coordinated observations of ion upflows/polar wind
(PIs: M. Hirahara and Y. Ogawa)
------------------------------------------------------------
Pulse code: tau7 
Antenna mode: fixed42p.elan

YYYY-MM-DD Start-End time (Conjunction with Reimei)
-----------------------------------------------------
2008-07-14 08-10 UT (09:30 UT)

(0730 UT) runexp /kst/exp/ei/tau7/tau7 fm fixed42p NI
(0800 UT) enablerec all
(1000 UT) stopexp

Disturbed ionospheric condition due to high solar wind velocity (~700km/s)
NEIALs were observed between 8 and 9 UT.
Tx power: 720 kW (Tx 1 is off)
Plasma lines: We received Upshifted plasma lines only.

2008-07-16 08-10 UT (08:31 UT)

(0715 UT) runexp /kst/exp/ei/tau7/tau7 fm fixed42p NI

2008-07-17 08-10 UT (08:49 UT)**

(0704 UT) runexp /kst/exp/ei/tau7/tau7 fm fixed42p NI
(0802 UT) enablerec all
(1000 UT) stopexp

Quiet ionospheric condition
Tx power: 710 kW (Tx 1 is off)
There was a problem with rawdata recording 
(Real Tx power was about 0.7 MW, but it was recorded as 0.2 MW.)

(0730 UT) runexp /kst/exp/ei/tau7/tau7 fm fixed42p NI
(0800 UT) enablerec all
(1000 UT) stopexp

Quiet ionospheric condition
Tx power: 710 kW (Tx 1 is off)
-----------------------------------------------------
2008-07-21 08-10 UT (08:26 UT)

(0700 UT) runexp /kst/exp/ei/tau7/tau7 fm fixed42p NI
(0730 UT) enablerec all
(1000 UT) stopexp

Quiet ionospheric condition, although IMF Bz was about 
-5 nT and solar wind density was about 8 cc-1. 
Airport interlock happend between 08:20-08:29 UT when 
Reimei passed near Svalbard.
Tx power: 710 kW (Tx 1 is off)
-----------------------------------------------------

2008-07-22 08-10 UT (08:45 UT)**

(0730 UT) runexp /kst/exp/ei/tau7/tau7 fm fixed42p NI
(0800 UT) enablerec all
(1200 UT) stopexp

SP was extended until 12 UT as a collaboration with Sweden 
(PI: S. C. Buchert) because IMF condition was promising.
Electron heating and ion upflows occurred around 1130 UT.
Tx power: 710 kW (Tx 1 is off)
-----------------------------------------------------

2008-07-23 08-10 UT (09:03 UT)

(0756 UT) runexp /kst/exp/ei/tau7/tau7 fm fixed42p NI
(0800 UT) enablerec all
(1000 UT) stopexp

Quiet ionospheric condition around 9 UT.
Tx power: 700 kW (Tx 1 is off)
-----------------------------------------------------

(0735 UT) inhibitantenna
(0736 UT) runexp /kst/exp/ei/tau7/tau7 fm fixed42p NI
(0800 UT) enablerec all
(1000 UT) stopexp

Mostly quiet ionospheric condition, although ion 
upflows occurred between 0800 nad 0815 UT.
Tx power: 700 kW (Tx 1 is off)
