International Polar Year

Up one level
EISCAT is participating in the International Polar Year in a number of ways, including operations as part of the ICESTAR/IHY co-ordination. The principal operation is a continuous operation of the EISCAT Svalbard Radar covering the entire IPY. The observing mode(s) include field-aligned profiles from below 100 to 500km altitude and 30+ hour local area scans (for electrical field measurements) every two weeks. User input on modes and objectives is always welcome.

International Polar Year Space Debris
The EISCAT radars use special hardware developed for ESA to monitor space debris passing throgh the radar beams. Data collected during the IPY long run is providing new insights into the behaviour and dispersal of space debris using measurements of the debris field created by an anti-satellite missile test conducted by China just pior to the start of the IPY.
