Electron density summary plots for Millstone Hill Radar

Regional Vector Eclipse

This is an experiment designed to provide rapid time coverage of E and F region ionospheric parameters in the vicinity of Millstone Hill, in a cone with radius +/- 2 degrees at F region heights. Two modes are used for coverage of the August 21, 2017 eclipse, and the experiment alternates between them. Mode 1 provides vector ion drifts/electric fields as well as electron density, electron and ion temperatures, and ion composition. Both the zenith and steerable MISA antennas are used. Integration time in any one position is either 3 or 4 minutes depending on antenna, with the possibility for shorter integrations in post-experiment analysis. Mode 2 provides a vertical E/F region profile plus a wide regional scan at 6 deg elevation over a 105 degree azimuth sweep terminating at due south. Total scan cycle time is set at 15 minutes. Waveforms used are i_a480_s480 for the E/F region and scan_s2000_34600 for the Mode 2 sweep. MISA elevation angle for Mode 1 is 45 degrees.
