Dear EISCAT Users,
Next week, on 19th of March, EGI which provides the Check-in (Log-in
service) to our https://portal.eiscat.se/ will migrate the Check-in
service to a new authentication mechanism.
By this email I want to inform you of the following:
During the migration, the portal will be up and running, but no one will
be able to log in. The migration is expected to start at 8:00 CET on
19th March 2025 and should be finished by 13:00 CET.
After migration, issues may still arise for a while as some Identity
Providers in the eduGAIN network may not be used to authenticate after
the migration until they update their metadata (normally a max of 24h).
If you experience problems longer contact us for further advice.
Lastly for a period of up to few weeks new registrations and changes in
access made in the EISCAT Virtual organization will not reflect
automatically directly into access to the portal. So even if you
register for EISCAT VO you might not be able to access the service right
away. Please contact us in urgent matters.
Thank you and best regards,
Mária

Dear EISCAT community,
the new portal page is now online on https://portal.eiscat.se The
development of the system will be ongoing so we would like to ask you
for patience and cooperation as we continue to widen and develop the
functionalities at the webpage. Presently there, are no direct links for
L3 data (physical parameters) please continue to refer to and use our
Madrigal webpage for this level of data: https://madrigal.eiscat.se/
For access to the download of Level 2 data and submission of campaign
requests you need to be a member of EISCAT Virtual Organisation. Without
being a member in proper groups you will not be able to access data or
request campaigns. Information with links where to apply is available
for download here: https://cloud.eiscat.se/s/WjQCxQbxkBoNCLe
If you are not a member of EISCAT VO yet and you are applying for a
specific associate group you will be asked to submit two applications
when using the link. So please follow through the whole form. You need
to receive two confirmation emails from perun to be both general member
(first, automatic) and part of the group (second, manually revised) .
Please remember to always use the same account for identification.
(Institutional accounts or ORCID are preferred.)
If you didn't use EGI check-in services yet, you will be asked to
register as a member of EGI community first. It is better to make this
step separately before at https://aai.egi.eu/signup
If you are already member of EISCAT VO you can always check your
membership in groups and information in the VO by signing in to
https://perun.egi.eu/
For EISCAT VO related issues you can reach us at vo-support(a)eiscat.se
If you encounter any bugs or problems with download of the data or
submission of campaign requests at the new webpage please write to
portal-support(a)eiscat.se to ensure that your emails get to the
responsible personnel.
Thank you for your patience and I wish you a Happy new year!

Dear EISCAT community,
The Experiment request on old portal page was closed yesterday
afternoon. In the next days we might need to also disable the download
of L2 data from the present portal. For access to L3 data please refer
to our Madrigal webpage: https://madrigal.eiscat.se/
I will inform you once the data download and later the campaign request
through the new portal will become available.
Meanwhile please make sure that you are a member of EISCAT Virtual
Organisation. Without being a member in proper groups you will not be
able to access data or request campaigns after the change. Information
with links where to apply is available for download here:

Dear EISCAT community,
We are getting ready to make changes on our portal.eiscat.se webpage.
They will be done in several steps starting today and continuing over
the Christmas and New Year period.
As the first step we will disable location-based download from our
present portal page today. To be able to download data and later to use
our portal pages we are asking you to register in the EISCAT Virtual
Organisation. Information with links where to apply is attached here but
also can be found and downloaded: https://cloud.eiscat.se/s/WjQCxQbxkBoNCLe
If you are not a member of EISCAT VO yet and you are applying for a
specific associate group you will be asked to submit two applications
when using the link. So please follow through the whole form. If you
didn't use EGI checkin services yet, you will be asked to register as a
member of EGI community first. It is better to make this step separately
before at https://aai.egi.eu/signup
Please remember to always use the same account for identification.
(Institutional accounts or ORCID are preferred.)
First application for general membership (download of public data) is
approved automatically. The application for your specific group has to
be approved by the group manager, as each Associate manages their groups
independently of EISCAT, and thus in some cases it can take up to
several days until it gets approved. You should receive automatic emails
from the EISCAT VO on the perun system once each of these applications
is approved.
For the next step we will disable experiment request submission next
week (on 11th of December) once the submissions for January are closed.
The changes on the portal entail also a revamp of the campaign request
submission system. To be able to submit requests on the new portal pages
you have to be member of a request subgroup. Membership in this subgroup
depends on the rules of your associate and has to be communicated with
your individual managers.
The plan is to change the webpage in a suitable timeslot just before
Christmas depending also on the staff availability. We will try to
change the pages as smoothly as possible but we expect there will be
outages in accessibility of the portal page over the Christmas and New
Year period. The submission of campaign requests for February will be
open once we are sure with the new page. I will inform you about the
progress of the changes and resuming of the service through this mailing
list.

Hi,
If you are a user of the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) and use the daily updated index files provided by the University of New Brunswick and the IRI Working Group (https://chain-new.chain-project.net/echaim_downloads/ig_rz.dat and https://chain-new.chain-project.net/echaim_downloads/apf107.dat) please be aware that a hardcoded limit in versions of the IRI from before December 2023 will result in the model crashing if used with the provided updated index files after October 31st. We encourage all users of the IRI to update to the latest version of the model to avoid interuption and to ensure continued use of the model after October 2024.
If you use an older version of the IRI, a truncated index file is provided here: https://chain-new.chain-project.net/echaim_downloads/capped/ig_rz.dat This file will not include dates after October 2024, as such older versions of the IRI will not crash with this file, but they will not be able to be used for dates beyond October 2024.
If you use an older version of IRI2020, IRI2016, or IRI2012 but cannot update to the latest version and still need to run for dates after October 2024, a stopgap fix can be enacted as follows:
In the read_ig_rz subroutine within your version of irifun.for, replace the real variable declaration with the following:
real aig(1600),arz(1600)
and in the tcon subroutine within your version of irifun.for, replace the real variable declaration with the following:
real ionoindx(1600),indrz(1600)
real ig(3),rz(3)
In versions of the IRI prior to December 2023, these variables are set to 806 elements which needs to be increased, here to 1600 elements. You should also implement a fix to the real(12,*) declarations in read_ig_rz subroutine within irifun.for with the following:
read(12,*) iupm,iupd,iupy
read(12,*) imst,iyst,imend,iyend
I do not guarantee that these changes will work for all older versions of the IRI and still recommend that all users update to the latest version, but if you recompile with these changes it should make it so that you can use those older versions of the model with the new index files.
If you use IRI2007, the ig_rz.dat file for that version is formatted differently and the new index files would not work regardless.
If you have any questions, please reach out to me or the IRI Working Group.
Cheers,
David Themens
