EISCAT Peer-Review Programme: Open Call for Applications
(sorry for any cross-posting)
The EISCAT Scientific Association invites applications for *observing
time on the EISCAT facilities in 2024*, by individual scientists,
research groups, and consortia*throughout the world on equal,
competitive basis*. This means that anyone can apply, independent of
whether or not the applicant is from an EISCAT associate country.
The present call is the second one for 2024. In total, *200 hours of
experiment time* are open for international, peer-reviewed competition,
and are available for the use of any of the current EISCAT facilities.
Roughly half of this time is allocated in each call.
Please refer for more information and instructions how to apply to:
https://eiscat.se/scientist/schedule/eiscat-peer-reviewed-program/
The deadline for applications is *1 May 2024 at 24:00 UTC*.

Dear Colleagues,
The International EISCAT Radar School will be held August 12–16, 2024, at the Kilpisjärvi Biological Station in Finland. The school in 2024 is organized by UiT The Arctic University of Norway and the international EISCAT Scientific Association.
Website and Registration:
https://uit.no/tavla/artikkel/842864/eiscat_radar_school_2024
Venue:
Kilpisjärvi Biological Station, Kilpisjärvi, Finland
Dates:
August 12–16, 2024
Registration Deadline:
There are limited spots available, so it is recommended to register early. No registration deadline is currently assigned.
Topics to be covered:
The EISCAT school will teach about essential aspects of the EISCAT radar systems. An introduction to ionospheric physics, incoherent scatter radar measurements, and radio wave interactions with plasma will be provided. The hardware and software of EISCAT systems will be discussed, with some emphasis on EISCAT 3D. Tips on analysing and working with the data will be given and the participants will run their own radar experiment in a hands-on exercise.
Accommodations:
Rooms are reserved in the Kilpisjärvi Biological Research Station for the school from August 11–17, 2024. Dual occupancy rooms are reserved for students at a cost of approximately 600 euros for each student (Sunday-Saturday, Aug. 11-17), with meals included. There is no registration fee.
Travel:
Travel to the Kilpisjärvi research station, Finland, will be discussed with each registrant for the school. Tromsø, Norway, has a public bus route that leaves Monday morning (August 12) and arrives at the station before lunch and the start of the school. The public bus route leaves Kilpisjärvi in the early evening on August 16 to return to Tromsø.
An excursion to the EISCAT 3D radar site is planned for the school.
The lecturers at the school consist of members of the EISCAT user community and EISCAT staff. The in-person school will provide opportunities for the attendees to network with others in the incoherent scatter and ionospheric science community, while learning about the EISCAT radar systems.
