ANNOUNCEMENT

 

2016 ISR Summer School

A Joint NSF and EISCAT Radar School

 

Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory

Sodankylä, Finland

24-30 July 2016

 

The 2016 ISR Summer School will be held in Finland at the Sodankylä
Geophysical Observatory 24-30 July, inclusive. The school provides students
with hands-on experience in designing and running experiments at incoherent
scatter radar facilities. During this summer school, students will have the
opportunity to run experiments with the EISCAT incoherent scatter radar
(ISR) and use data from multiple ISR observatories, such as Poker Flat
(PFISR), Millstone Hill, Sondrestrom, Arecibo and Jicamarca. The school will
be structured to provide presentations in the morning and hands-on
experience in experiment design and analysis in the afternoons. The morning
lectures will include an introduction to the theory of incoherent scatter,
radar operations, ISR analysis techniques, and the Madrigal database. The
afternoon exercises will involve working closely with ISR facility staff in
the topic areas of proposal design, experiment execution, and data analysis.
All students will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with experienced
scientists from multiple institutions.

 

The ISR summer school is suitable for graduate and advanced undergraduate
students and attendance is limited. For most students attending institutions
within the United States, travel, housing and meals will be provided. For
post-docs and students outside of the United States, funding will be
considered on a case-by-case basis. All students who wish to apply for the
ISR summer school must follow the application instructions at the
appropriate summer school web site:
