Campaign
Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions:
new results for inner magnetosphere

Dear VarSITI colleagues,

It is my pleasure to inform on the new observations in the frame of the campaign ‘Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions: new results for inner magnetosphere’.

During this year, interesting results were obtained for the equinoxes and summer solstice. We were lucky to capture the period of September 5÷11 where severe geomagnetic storm occurred.

Now, we are ready to look at the winter case. Kharkiv incoherent scatter radar will be operated from December 24, 07:00 UT to December 26, 07:00 UT to study the variations in the topside with the focus on H+ ion density.

We invite all interested researchers to join.

Kind Regards, 

P.S. Please see the detailed information on the aim and activities of the campaign here:    Campaign supported by VarSITI

Campaign observations for Arase and
ground-based observations

Dear VarSITI colleagues,

The Arase (ERG) satellite will have the 4th campaign observations from December 8, 2017 to January 9, 2018 in order to make conjugate measurements of dayside chorus/EMIC waves with ground-based stations and the Van Allen Probes. The apogee MLT of the Arase (ERG) satellite has shifted to post-noon side. This is one of SPeCIMEN campaign observations.

The observation lists with ground-based instruments and Van Allen Probes satellite are as follows.

The next campaign observations for Arase
and ground-based observations

Dear VarSITI colleagues,

Japanese geospace exploration satellite Arase (ERG) has observed inner magnetosphere continuously.

The satellite orbit can be found in conjunction event finder at ERG-Science Center.

Conjunction Event Finder: https://ergsc.isee.nagoya-u.ac.jp/analysis/cef/index.shtml.ja

The apogee MLT of the satellite has shifted to duskside from the midnight, so that it is good period to observe EMIC wave-particle interactions and resultant precipitation of energetic ions and electrons.

We have a plan for a campaign observations between Arase and ground-based observations in this spring (Sep 9 to Oct 6), especially focusing on EMIC-wave particle interactions and related phenomena and dynamics of the inner magnetosphere. This is one of SPeCIMEN campaign observations.

The campaign observation includes various ground-based observations; optical imagers at Canada/US/Scandinavia, EISCAT, and SuperDARN radars. The summary of campaign observations has been prepared in the following wiki site, and the list for conjugate observations between Arase and related ground-based site is also shown.

Japanese geospace exploration satellite Arase (ERG)
The first campaign observations for Arase
and ground-based observations

Dear VarSITI colleagues,

We had the first campaign observations for Arase and ground-based observations in March and Aplil. There were several magnetic storms in these months, and we had good chances for conjugate observations between the satellite and ground-based observations. We appreciate very much your great efforts for collaborations with the Arase satellite and ERG ground-network observations.

Quick look plots on some ERG ground-network observation data are found in the following webpage, and data processing of Arase and other data are going and these data will be found at the ERG-Science Center after the necessary calibration and data process.

The second campaign observations for Arase and ground-based observations will be planned around the summer soltice for the observations with Antarctica as well as sub-aurola latitudes. We look forward to further collaborative observations for the inner magnetosphere and radiation belts.

Campaign
Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions:
new results for inner magnetosphere

Dear VarSITI colleagues,

I am glad to invite you to participate in VarSITI Meeting to be held in Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Prague from October 6 to 10, 2017. The Meeting is organized to discuss the results of the VarSITI sponsored observational campaign titled ‘Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions: new results for inner magnetosphere’.

The campaign revealed a number of unexpected features in the topside ionosphere during the years of 2016÷2017. We hope the results will be useful for all researchers who study the space weather impact on the coupled atmosphere-ionosphere-magnetosphere system.

Campaign
Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions:
new results for inner magnetosphere

Dear VarSITI colleagues,

We are ready to conduct the second observations in the frame of the campaign titled 'Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions: new results for inner magnetosphere' sponsored by VarSITI. We will use Kharkiv incoherent scatter radar from June 20, 19:00 UT to June 23, 00:00 UT to study the variations in the topside with the focus on H⁺ ion density.

The first observations (March 21÷24, 2017) brought us quite interesting results. We were lucky to conduct the measurements during the moderate storm and registered strong variation in the topside ionosphere. After the end of the storm, during the night of March 24, a factor of ~2.5 increase of H⁺ and electron densities was observed in the topside.

We invite all interested researchers to join the work on the effects of March 2017 storm and participate in the coordinated investigations next week with their research results and tools. We are welcome all your suggestions and proposed activities. These can be sent to the e-mail of the coordinator: dmitrykotoff[at]gmail.com.

We are looking forward to fruitful results from the collaboration,

Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions:
new results for inner magnetosphere

Dear VarSITI colleagues,

It is my pleasure to inform you of a first observations planned to be conducted in the frame of new campaign titled 'Coordinated investigations of topside H⁺ ions: new results for inner magnetosphere' sponsored by VarSITI.

Please see the detailed information on the aim and activities of the campaign on this site (click here)

We will use Kharkiv incoherent scatter radar from March 21, 20:00 UT to March 24, 00:00 UT to study the variations in H⁺, He⁺, O⁺, and electron densities, electron and ion temperatures within the altitude range from 180 km to 800 km. The data will be used for observational-based physical simulation of ionosphere-plasmasphere system (FLIP model). Further, the results will be compared with the ones for the previous solar minimum of 2006÷2009.

All interested researcher are invited to participate in the coordinated investigations using their research tools. We are welcome all your suggestions and proposed activities. These can be sent to the e-mail of the coordinator: dmitrykotoff[at]gmail.com (Dmytro Kotov).

We are looking forward to fruitful results from the collaboration,
