Abstract

Description of an incoherent scatter radar experiment performed at the 23-cm radar facility in Chatanika, Alaska. The experiment has provided a direct method for measuring the ionospheric plasma transport velocity vector over long periods with relatively good time resolution. Since the F-region transport at this site is closely associated with magnetospheric convection, particularly at night, the radar can provide important information about the behavior of the magnetosphere.
