EISCAT Scientific Association

EISCAT is an international scientific association with member institutes in several countries. We conduct ionospheric and atmospheric measurements with radars. In total EISCAT operates three high-power large aperture radar systems, one of which has multistatic receiver capabilities, as well as a powerful ionospheric heater / HF radar and a Dynasonde. The radars are located in the auroral zone on the northern mainland of Norway, Sweden and Finland, and in the magnetospheric cusp region on Svalbard.
