Field-aligned currents and ionospheric parameters deduced from EISCAT radar measurements in the post-midnight sector

Attempting to derive the field-aligned current (FAC) density using the EISCAT radar and to understand the role of the ionosphere on closing FACs, we conducted special radar experiments with the EISCAT radar on 9 October 1999. In order to derive the gradient of the ionospheric conductivity (g...
