Jicamarca incoherent and coherent scatter radar capabilities for equatorial aeronomy

Abstract

"The International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy is held approximately every three to four years and is typically a major gathering of scientists from around the world interested in the low-latitude atmosphere and ionosphere, as well as coupling with other latitudinal and altitudinal regions. Each ISEA represents an opportunity for researchers to share their most recent results as well as discuss possibilities for future campaigns and experiments. Over 130 scientists attended ISEA-11 from 15 countries, participating in eight different scientific sessions. The sessions were: (1) K. C. Yeh memorial session: F-region irregularities and scintillations, radio occultation and tomographic imaging; (2) Upper atmospheric responses to seismic and volcanic activities; (3) Equatorial and low-latitude studies: ionospheric and thermospheric dynamics; (4) Numerical simulation, modeling and data assimilation; (5) Magnetic storm effects and space weather features at low latitudes; (6) E-region plasma irregularities and instabilities; (7) Equatorial and low-latitude studies: middle atmosphere dynamics and coupling processes; (8) Experimental techniques and recent low-latitude campaigns."
