PFISR featured in Space Weather Quarterly (Vol. 7, Issue
1, 2010) "Editor's Choice." VIEW ARTICLE
PFISR and RISR-N operate for 10-day World
Day (WD) run studying effects of stratospheric
warming on the lower thermosphere and ionosphere.
Unfortunately, RISRís
generator failed on day 7. Analysis and repairs
are underway.
DEC2009
PFSR and RISR-N participate in first optical
campaign to use all high-latitude ISRs,
coordinated by Ph.D. candidate Magnar Johnsen
of U. Tromsø (currently
at Boston U.). PFSR and RISR-N
also operate for 6-day WD run to study
temporal and latitudinal behavior of electron
density changes, particularly near the plasmaspheric
boundary layer.
SEP2009
PFISR and RISR-N operate for 10-day WD run
to study equinoctal neutral wind reversal.
PFISR continues to operate in low-duty cycle
mode when not in use for other
runs.
AUG2009
RISR-N (the north-looking AMISR face at Resolute,
Canada) completes engineering testing and calibration,
and is fully operational with 128 panels. Data
show interesting F-region structure during
very quiet times.
JUL2009
Five-day AMISR Student Workshop is held at
SRI, attended by 21 students. Final day guest
lecturers include Sixto Gonzales of Arecibo
Observatory, and Michael Kelley and former
AMISR workshop student Roger Varney, both of
Cornell U.
JUN2009
PFISR participates in first World Day run to
study PMSE.
MAY2009
Special issue of the J. Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial
Physics (Vol.
71, Issue 6-7) with initial results from PFISR
is published, edited by Dr. Diego Janches (NWRA
CoRA Div.). VIEW
ARTICLE
JAN–MAR2009
PFISR supports ACES-2 and CASCADES-2 rocket
campaigns in addition to numerous optical campaigns.
JUL2008
Five-day AMISR Student Workshop held at Millstone Hill, attended by 21 students. PFISR also participates in PARS workshop held in Alaska.
JUNE2008
The 2nd AMISR Science Planning Workshop was held to highlight results from first year PFISR operations, provide incoherent scatter basics and AMISR access tutorials, and discuss plans for future Resolute Bay AMISR operations. VIEW WORKSHOP TUTORIALS
FEB2008
PFISR completes year-long International Polar Year (IPY) run. When not running for other experiments, PFISR has operated almost continuously since 01 March 2007 in a low-duty cycle mode. The resulting large dataset, combined with that from the year-long full-power EISCAT Svalbard radar and the biweekly 30 hr runs of the EISCAT
Tromsø, Sondrestrom and Millstone Hill radars, provides an unprecedented volume of high-latitude measurements during the IPY.
DEC2007
Two special sessions on PFISR initial results at the Fall AGU, including 7 talks
and 11 posters with PFISR data.
OCT2007
Geophysical Research Letters October
2007 issue features PFISR on the cover with
an article demonstrating the volumetric imaging
capability of the system.
