EISCAT-3D, a short
description
More information can be found at the EISCAT-3D web site.
EISCAT-3D is a planned next generation incoherent scatter radar facility, based on phased-array technology and multiple radar sites. The EISCAT_3D proposal was accepted on the ESFRI Roadmap of large-scale European research infrastructures in December 2008.

EISCAT-3D is a planned next generation incoherent scatter radar facility, based on phased-array technology and multiple radar sites. The EISCAT_3D proposal was accepted on the ESFRI Roadmap of large-scale European research infrastructures in December 2008.
The
EU, EISCAT, the Rutherford-Appleton
Laboratory (UK), the University
of Tromsø (Norway), the Luleå
Technical University (Sweden), and the Swedish
Institute of Space Physics (Sweden) financed and undertook
the EISCAT-3D
design study. The results of the study were presented at the
first EISCAT
-3D User Meeting 2009, and a final
report has been published.
A four
year long Preparatory Phase of EISCAT_3D funded by the
European Commission under the call FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2010-1
started on 1 October 2010. Ongoing Preparatory Phase actions
were presented at User Meetings in 2011,
2012,
and 2013.
The Preparatory Phase work is being performed by a consortium
consisting of
EISCAT Scientific Association
University of Oulu, Finland
Luleå University of Technology, Sweden
Swedish Institute of Space Physics, Sweden
University of Tromsø, Norway
Science and Technology Facilities Council, UK
Swedish Research Council, Sweden
National Instruments, Belgium
with EISCAT acting as coordinator. A key activity of the phase will be the gathering of requirements for the science topics that will be addressed with EISCAT_3D, and the different types of new experiment which users would like to run. This activity will be coordinated within work package 3, Science planning and user engagement.
In Norway and Sweden user consortia consisting of 30-40 active researchers submitted applications for national funding of E3D as a research infrastructure, applying for 150 MNOK and 150 MSEK, respectively. The submissions were in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
The outcome of the Norwegian application is fully positive, the Research Council ofNorway has reserved funds for E3D and will allocate them if a satisfactory international funding and operations plan within a reasonable time (subject to funding calls, the next one possibly in October 2014).
*Within the COOPEUS project EISCAT will facilitate the coordination of its atmospheric radar data products with those of the US partners at various levels from the lowest level raw data (as raw data samples, ideally as voltage-level data) to the highest level validated and derived data products in order to increase the involvement of potential scientific user communities. In order to achieve interoperability EISCAT and the US partner will negotiate shared data structures, practices and standards that are consistent with those of other environmental research infrastructure.
