Polar Cap and Polar Cap Boundary Phenomena

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking University of Oslo as follows: Under this proposal we give technical support for year around operation of two scintillation receivers. The two receiver systems are located at Longyearbyen (78.92 deg N, 11.95 deg E, 76.07 CGMLat) and Ny-Alesund (78.20 deg N, 15.82 deg E, 75.12 CGMLat), both stations on Svalbard. These receivers provide stereo observations of irregularities in the vicinity of the auroral oval and inside the polar cap. Both receivers are operated remotely and data are transferred to AFRL via our computer network. We also support AFRL's operation of an allsky imager at Ny-Alesund.
