Eiscat Svalbard Radar (ESR)
Document Actions
Short information about the EISCAT Svalbard radar.
The EISCAT Scientific Association is an
international research organisation operating three geophysical research
Incoherent Scatter Radar systems, an Ionospheric Heater and a Dynasonde in Northern Scandinavia.
In November 1992, it was decided to build a Radar on Svalbard, and 1994
the EISCAT Svalbard Radar was ready, standing near Longyearbyen on Svalbard.
It is a fully steerable 32 m parabolic dish antenna, as seen on the picture below

Another antenna was added in 1999, 42 m in diameter and fixed along the local magnetic field line. The transmitter output can be routed to either antenna as required.
