| Research Abstract |
In the 1^<st> year, a collaborative research work with Univ. Tromso on the atmospheric tide and gravity wave behaviors in the polar mesosphere and lower thermosphere was made by using the EISCAT radar observation and data. In March, 1999 a conjunctive and conjugate observation of high-latitude auroras by EISCAT, HF radars, satellites as FAST and GEOTAIL and ground-based optics was carried out in this project and interesting substorm event was successfully captured. In the 2^<nd> year of this project, an intensive study on the electrodynamics of aurora in the polar cap region was started by using the conjunctive observation data to find out possible mechanisms of substorms and relevance of strong arc, electric field and field-aligned current. An analysis of tidal features in the polar mesospheric regions indicates existence of diurnal propagating tide at higher latitudes. A study on the ionospheric trough morphology and detailed analysis of plasma lines were also made. Auroral tomography and HF radar campaign runs were carried out in conjunction with the EISCAT radar, and auroral/airglow spectrograph observation has started its operation to be in close collaboration with EISCAT radar run. In the last year, ion-drag induced neutral instability based on the EISCAT radar data and global feature of atmospheric tide such as assumed contribution of non-migrating semidiurnal tides by using EISCAT long run data in August, 1999 and other radar data has been put to people's attention along with collaborations on SOUSY radar study of gravity wave and turbulence in the stratosphere and analysis of PMSE data by the EISCAT radar. Tomographic reconstruction of heating-induced airglow was also done through collaborative researches. A new meteor radar observation and temperature measurement by airglow spectrograph have also been undertaken to contribute to the coordinated observation of arctic environmental study by the EISCAT radar.
