Abstract:

In this article we want to present the EISCAT Svalbard Radar (ESR) in some detail, as well as some of the instruments of interest for ionospheric and magnetospheric research that are located in the vicinity of it. We particularly describe how this instrument cluster, close to the geomagnetic conjugate point of the Chinese Antarctic Zhongshan Station, can contribute to inter-hemispheric coordinated studies of the polar ionosphere.

Key words: EISCAT, Incoherent Scatter Radar, conjugate studies
