Description
Summary:This report results from a contract tasking University of Oslo as follows: The contractor will investigate the ionosphere using meridian scanning photometers, all-sky imagers and the incoherent scatter radar on Svalbard. The main aim of this research proposal is to obtain a reliable understanding of disturbances in the polar ionosphere. which is important to current space research and its application in space weather activities. In particular, the contractor will focus on locating the boundary between open and closed magnetic field lines and then determine which processes occur on open and which one on closed field lines.
