1 CEDAR 2013 Workshop International space weather and climate observations along the 120E/60W meridional circle and its surrounding areas Space weather observations with SuperDARN extended in latitude and longitude Mike Ruohoniemi for: The SuperDARN Collaboration Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA

2 SuperDARN – International space weather radar

3 Space weather & HF coherent backscatter radar
The radars observe coherent backscatter from small-scale density irregularities in the ionosphere (plasma instability) The Doppler shift on returned signal gives the line-of-sight component of the plasma motion (plasma convection)

4 Mapping plasma convection in the ionosphere
Doppler velocity map obtained from a single 2-min radar scan Velocity magnitude Blue - towards Red - away

5 Space weather & HF coherent backscatter radar
Fitting the velocity data produces a regional or global scale map of plasma convection (convection pattern) Plasma motion can be thought of as a plasma ‘wind’ and the convection map is then analogous to the familiar barometric pressure map of tropospheric weather

6 Space weather maps of ionospheric plasma convection
