[eiscat3d] Greenland 2011 ISR Training Workshop

[Thomas Ulich]

International Incoherent Scatter Radar Workshop

18-23 July 2011, Kangerlussuaq, Greenland

An international incoherent scatter radar workshop aimed at providing 
participants with hands-on experience in designing and running incoherent 
scatter radar (ISR) experiments will be held near the Sondrestrom Research 
Facility in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, 18-23 July 2011. This workshop is a 
collaboration between the annual AMISR summer school (the fourth of its 
kind) and the EISCAT radar school. This workshop aims at teaching the 
participants how to request, design and analyze ISR experiments. All 
participants will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with experienced 
scientists. The workshop is structured to provide lectures in the morning 
and hands-on experience in experiment design and analysis in the 
afternoons. The morning presentations will include an introduction to the 
theory of incoherent scatter, radar operations, ISR analysis techniques, 
and the Madrigal database. The afternoon exercises will involve working 
closely with school staff in the topic areas of proposal design, 
experiment execution, and data analysis. Participants will have the 
opportunity to work with data from globally distributed ISRs.

This workshop is suitable for graduate and advanced undergraduate 
students, as well as scientists new to the incoherent scatter radar 
technique. The workshop is jointly sponsored by the EISCAT Scientific 
Association and the US National Science Foundation through its Upper 
Atmospheric Facility Program within the Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences 
(AGS) division of the Geosciences Directorate. The European organisers 
wish to thank the European Geosciences Union for their financial support.
