1 Sounding of the Cusp Ion Fountain Energization Region-2: SCIFER-2

This lead proposal is submitted in response to the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences Geospace LCAS Program. We propose to investigate ion outflows between 200 and 1400 km altitude in the polar cusp with a sounding rocket experiment, the EISCAT Svalbard ra-dars (ESR), and the EISCAT...

Description
Summary:This lead proposal is submitted in response to the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences Geospace LCAS Program. We propose to investigate ion outflows between 200 and 1400 km altitude in the polar cusp with a sounding rocket experiment, the EISCAT Svalbard ra-dars (ESR), and the EISCAT Tromsø radars to understand the transition of ion outflows from the
