The objective of our study was to cross-validate Joule heating rates derived from Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F7 observations through comparison with incoherent scatter radar measurements from Sondre Stromfjord, Greenland, In spite of obvious difficulties encountered within local...
