EISCAT observational results during the DELTA campaign
Abstract This paper aims at describing the ionospheric conditions during the DELTA (Dynamics and Energetics of the Lower Thermosphere in Aurora) campaign period based on EISCAT radar observations conducted at Tromsø (69.6°N, 19.2°E). We conducted EISCAT UHF radar observations on December 5 and from...
