STARE
|
The Scandinavian Twin Auroral Radar Experiment (STARE) consists of two coherent radar stations located in Midtsandan in Norway, and in Hankasalmi in Finland. Stare measures the electron flow (~ electric field) pattern and its dynamics with good spatial and temporal resolution over a large area (~ 200 000 km^2) of the auroral zone in Northern Scandinavia along eight antenna lobes. The Experiment provides a window on to the interaction between our planet and the solar wind.
