| Research Abstract |
The international joint research project is provided to make progress the international collaboration between a group of Japanese scientists and the EISCAT (European Incoherent Scatter) Scientific Association concerning with the Svalbard radar program. The EISCAT Scientific Association joined by European six countries (France, Finland, Germany, Norway, Sweden and United Kingdom) has started construction of the EISCAT Svalbard radar(ESR) in 1993 and Japan is expected to join the program by sharing construction of the second antenna of the ESR.The radar is under construction at the site near Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen and the radar site at the geographic latitude of about 80ﾟ and at the geomagnetic latitude of about 75ﾟ is suitably located for the research on the physical processes of the coupling among the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere and atmosphere.
During May to June 1994, Japanese delegates from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, the National Institute of Polar Research, and the Nagoya University to which the Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory belongs, visited Spitsbergen for investigation of the radar site, and Japanese scientists attended the Svalbard Workshop on the polar cusp region under sponsorship of the EISCAT Scientific Association. The Japan-EISCAT Symposium was held at Toba, Japan on 31 August-3 September 1994 with the participants of 16 from Europe, 1 from USA and 42 from Japan. The major topics of the symposium concerned about the Svalbard radar project. The collaboration has made a further step forward during 1994.
