AbstractRadars are routinely used for studying the earth's environment from the lowest altitudes in the neutral atmosphere up to the ionosphere and, indirectly, the magnetosphere. They give access to local processes, for example plasma instabilities or neutral turbulence, as well as global phenomena, for example ionospheric convection patterns or interactions of the solar wind with the earth's magnetosphere. New projects as LOIS aim to expand the capability to the sun, the solar wind and direct observations in the magnetosphere. This will bring new insights for a large number of scientific topics, among them the solar-terrestrial relationships and space weather. This is typified for a recent event observed by various in-situ satellites and ground-based instruments in May 2003.The presentation (PDF) |
