Poker Flat Radar Observations of the Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling Electrodynamics of the Earthward Penetrating Plasma Sheet Following Convection Enhancements
We have used PFISR observations associated with two relatively abrupt southward turnings of the IMF to provide an initial evaluation of aspects of this response.

Spectral Observations of Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes at 33 Cm (450 Mhz) with the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar
We report on multi-beam spectral observations of polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE) at 450 MHz (Bragg scattering wavelength of ∼33cm) carried out with the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR)…

Case Studies of Aerosol Remote Sensing in the Vicinity of Clouds
In this paper, we describe aerosol observations collected near cloud edges by an airborne Sun photometer over dark ocean waters.

Observations of Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes Using Pfisr During the Summer of 2007
The Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) has been running nearly continuously throughout the summer of 2007, which permits an unprecedented, long-term study of polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE) at UHF.

Observations of Midlatitude Ionospheric Instabilities Generating Meter-Scale Waves at the Magnetic Equator
We present data from a spectacular low-latitude ionospheric event obtained using two ionospheric imaging systems located on the Haleakala Volcano on Maui, Hawaii , and a 50-MHz coherent scatter radar…

Micro-Propulsion System of a Thermospheric Explorer Cubesat
The major design driver for the Dipping Thermospheric Explorer (DipTE) CubeSat mission is that the satellite shall fly a significant amount of orbit arcs at altitudes of 300km and below.…
