• Characteristics of fragmented aurora-like emissions (FAEs) observed on Svalbard 

      Dreyer, Joshua; Partamies, Noora; Whiter, Daniel; Ellingsen, Pål Gunnar; Baddeley, Lisa; Buchert, Stephan C. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      This study analyses the observations of a new type of small-scale aurora-like feature, which is further referred to as fragmented aurora-like emission(s) (FAEs). An all-sky camera captured these FAEs on three separate ...
    • Dynamic properties of throat aurora revealed by simultaneous ground and satellite observations 

      Chen, Xiangcai; Han, Desheng; Lorentzen, Dag Arne; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Moen, Jøran Idar; Baddeley, Lisa (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03)
      Throat aurora is defined as south-north aligned auroral arcs equatorward of the dayside cusp aurora and was suggested to be the results of cold magnetospheric plasma interaction with magnetopause reconnection, but its ...
    • Estimation of cold plasma outflow during geomagnetic storms 

      Haaland, Stein; Eriksson, A.; Maes, L.; Baddeley, Lisa; Barakat, A.; Chappell, R.; Eccles, V.; Johnsen, C.; Lybekk, Bjørn; Li, K.; Pedersen, A; Schunk, R.; Welling, D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12-01)
      Low-energy ions of ionospheric origin constitute a significant contributor to the magnetospheric plasma population. Measuring cold ions is difficult though. Observations have to be done at sufficiently high altitudes and ...
    • An investigation into the spectral parameters of ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves in the polar caps and magnetotail 

      Nosikova, Nataliya Sergeevna; Yagova, Nadezda Viktorovna; Baddeley, Lisa; Lorentzen, Dag Arne; Sormakov, Dmitriy Anatolyevich (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The present case study is focused on fluctuations at ∼ 1.5 mHz observed on open field lines in both of the polar caps in ground-based geomagnetic data and in the electron concentration in the Northern Hemisphere ionosphere. ...
    • Observational evidence for throat aurora being associated with magnetopause reconnection 

      Han, De-Sheng; Xu, Tong; Jin, Yaqi; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Chen, Xiangcai; Liu, Jian-Jun; Zhang, Qinghe; Baddeley, Lisa; Herlingshaw, Katie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Throat auroras have been suggested to be related to indentations on the subsolar magnetopause. However, the indentation generation process and the resulting ionospheric responses have remained unknown. An EISCAT Svalbard ...
    • On the Production of Ionospheric Irregularities Via Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability Associated with Cusp Flow Channels 

      Spicher, Andres; Deshpande, Kshitija; Jin, Yaqi; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Zettergren, Matthew D.; Clausen, Lasse Boy Novock; Moen, Jøran Idar; Hairston, Marc R.; Baddeley, Lisa (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We present a multi‐instrument multiscale study of a channel of enhanced, inhomogeneous flow in the cusp ionosphere occurring on November 30, 2014. We provide evidence that strong Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) ...
    • Scintillation and loss of signal lock from poleward moving auroral forms in the cusp ionosphere 

      Oksavik, Kjellmar; van der Meeren, Christer; Lorentzen, Dag Arne; Baddeley, Lisa; Moen, Jøran Idar (Journal article, 2015-10-27)
      We present two examples from the cusp ionosphere over Svalbard, where poleward moving auroral forms (PMAFs) are causing significant phase scintillation in signals from navigation satellites. The data were obtained using a ...
    • Space and atmospheric physics on Svalbard: a case for continued incoherent scatter radar measurements under the cusp and in the polar cap boundary region 

      Baddeley, Lisa; Lorentzen, Dag Arne; Haaland, Stein Egil; Heino, Erkka Petteri; Mann, Ingrid Brigitte; Miloch, Wojciech Jacek; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Partamies, Noora; Spicher, Andres; Vierinen, Juha-Pekka (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Incoherent scatter radars (ISRs) represent the only instrument (both ground and space based) capable of making high temporal and spatial resolution measurements of multiple atmospheric parameters—such as densities, ...
    • A statistical study of polar cap flow channels and their IMF by dependence 

      Herlingshaw, Katie; Baddeley, Lisa; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Lorentzen, Dag Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      An algorithm to detect high-speed ionospheric flow channels (FCs) in the polar cap was applied to data from the Longyearbyen radar of the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network. The Longyearbyen radar is at high latitude (78.2°N, ...
    • A statistical study of polar cap flow channels observed in both hemispheres using SuperDARN radars 

      Herlingshaw, Katie; Baddeley, Lisa; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Lorentzen, Dag Arne; Laundal, Karl Magnus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      This paper details the first large-scale, interhemispheric statistical study into ionospheric fast flow (>900 m/s) channels in the polar cap using the SuperDARN radar network. An automatic algorithm was applied to 6 years ...
