Experiments on EISCAT

From 5 to 20 October 2018, the PGI staff conducted a series of experiments on EISCAT (near the Norwegian city of Tromsø), as part of the project “Aspect Angle Effect 2 (AAE2)”, dealed with the study of effects in the ionospheric plasma during the modification of the ionosphere by powerful short-wave radiation from EISCAT / Heating booth. As a result of these experiments, new experimental data were obtained on joint measurements of the EISCAT installation and the satellite signals of the GLONASS navigation system.

The experiments were conducted in close cooperation with the Norwegian colleagues. The results obtained are currently being analyzed and are being prepared for publication.
