From the Sun to the Earth: The 13 May 2005 Coronal Mass Ejection Open
We report the results of a multi-instrument, multi-technique, coordinated study of the solar eruptive event of 13 May 2005. We discuss the resultant Earth-directed (halo) coronal mass ejection (CME), and the effects on the terrestrial spac…

Three-Dimensional (3-D) Reconstructions of EISCAT IPS Velocity Data in the Declining Phase of Solar Cycle 23 Open
The European Incoherent SCATter (EISCAT) radar has been used for remote-sensing observations of interplanetary scintillation (IPS) for a quarter of a century. During the April/May 2007 observing campaign, a large number of observations of …

Interplanetary Scintillation Observations of Stream Interaction Regions in the Solar Wind Open
We present a summary of results from ten years of interplanetary scintillation (IPS) observations of stream interaction regions (SIRs) in the solar wind. Previous studies had shown that SIRs were characterized by intermediate-velocity sola…

Handbook of the Solar‐Terrestrial Environment Open
As those of us lucky enough to be involved in the field know, solar system physics (alternately known as solar‐terrestrial physics or solar‐planetary physics—call it what you will) is a highly active, exciting, and rapidly changing area of…

Simultaneous interplanetary scintillation and Heliospheric Imager observations of a coronal mass ejection Open
We describe simultaneous Interplanetary Scintillation (IPS) and STEREO Heliospheric Imager (HI) observations of a coronal mass ejection (CME) on 16 May 2007. Strong CME signatures were present throughout the IPS observation. The IPS raypat…

Developments in the use of EISCAT for interplanetary scintillation Open
The antennas of EISCAT have been used for interplanetary scintillation (IPS) studies of the solar wind for many years. The main science found from these studies is obtained through the cross-correlation of signals from antennas having the …

The Solar Eruption of 2005 May 13 and Its Effects: Long-Baseline Interplanetary Scintillation Observations of the Earth-Directed Coronal Mass Ejection Open
Long-baseline observations of interplanetary scintillation (IPS) provide a unique source of information on solar wind speed and meridional direction across the inner regions of the solar system. We report the results of a series of coordin…

Interaction between coronal mass ejections and the solar wind Open
Observations suggest that the interplanetary extensions of coronal mass ejections (iCMEs) may be accelerated or decelerated in their passage through the solar wind. Interplanetary scintillation measurements (IPS) can detect the passage of …

A Magnetometer For The Solar Orbiter Mission Open
The magnetometer is a key instrument to the Solar Orbiter mission. The magnetic field is a fundamental parameter in any plasma: a precise and accurate measurement of the field is essential for understanding almost all aspects of plasma dyn…

The solar eruption of 13 May 2005: EISCAT and MERLIN observations of a coronal radio burst Open
We report results from EISCAT and MERLIN observations of radio scintillation during a solar eruptive event in May 2005. Anomalous increases in signal strength detected at sites more than 2000 km apart are shown to arise from the detection …

Extremely long baseline interplanetary scintillation measurements of solar wind velocity Open
We present results of observations of interplanetary scintillation (IPS) made using the telescopes of the MERLIN and EISCAT networks in which the beam separation approached 2000 km, much larger than in any previous IPS experiments. Signifi…

Dual‐frequency interplanetary scintillation observations of the solar wind Open
The results of observations of interplanetary scintillation (IPS) using the telescopes of EISCAT, in northern Scandinavia, and the ESR, on the Svalbard archipelago in the high Arctic, observing at frequencies of 1420 MHz, 928 MHz and 500 M…

Estimating random transverse velocities in the fast solar wind from EISCAT Interplanetary Scintillation measurements Open
Interplanetary scintillation measurements can yield estimates of a large number of solar wind parameters, including bulk flow speed, variation in bulk velocity along the observing path through the solar wind and random variation in transve…

The solar wind at solar maximum: comparisons of EISCAT IPS and in situ observations Open
The solar maximum solar wind is highly structured in latitude, longitude and in time. Coronal measurements show a very high degree of variability, with large variations that are less apparent within in situ spacecraft measurements. Interpl…

EISCAT measurements of solar wind velocity and the associated level of interplanetary scintillation Open
A relative scintillation index can be derived from EISCAT observations of Interplanetary Scintillation (IPS) usually used to study the solar wind velocity. This provides an ideal opportunity to compare reliable measurements of the solar wi…
