| Zusammenfassung |
| In January 1977 a new type of radar aurora experiment named STARE
(Scandinavian Twin Aurora Radar Experiment) commenced operation in northern
Scandinavia. The purpose of the experiment was two-fold: to make
observations of the nature of radar auroras, and to contribute to the study
of solar–terrestrial relationships (or space weather). The experiment was
designed for automatic continuous operation, and for nearly two and a half
decades it provided estimates of electron flows with good spatial coverage
and resolution and good time resolution. It was a successful experiment
that yielded a wealth of observations and results, pertaining to, and based
on, the observed time variations of the electron flows and to the spatial
flow pattern observed at any given time. This radar system inspired the
creation of a similar system, SABRE (Sweden And Britain Radar
Experiment), which increased the field of view towards the southwest of
STARE. This system commenced operation in 1982. |
