Application of alternating codes for EISCAT observations during the ERRRIS campaign for E-region plasma irregularities
Abstract
The first operations of an alternating code experiment for high time-resolution measurements are described. It is shown that the improvements of incoherent scatter radar measurements which the alternating code technique provides are substantial, making measurements possible with higher time and/or space resolution than used before. The ERRRIS (E Region Rocket Radar Instability Study) experiment was performed with the existing hardware of EISCAT (European Incoherent Scatter facility) and was necessarily a compromise of scientific demands and system limitations.
