Dr Gordon James (University of Calgary)14/06/2016, 08:30Atmospheric and Space Physics / Physique atmosphérique et de l'espace (DASP-DPAE)Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)The Radio Receiver Instrument (RRI) launched in 2013 as part of the Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe (ePOP) payload on the Canadian CASSIOPE small satellite has been successfully operated in a number collaborative transionospheric propagation experiments. The RRI is a digital receiver that operates in the frequency range from 10 Hz to 18 MHz and connects to 4 tubular monopoles usually...Go to contribution page

Dr Gareth Perry (University of Calgary)14/06/2016, 08:45Atmospheric and Space Physics / Physique atmosphérique et de l'espace (DASP-DPAE)Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)Since the outset of science operations with the Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe (e-POP) Radio Receiver Instrument (RRI) in September 2013, over 100 conjunctions with Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) radars have been completed. With the cross-dipole configuration of RRI's four monopole antennas, and the receiver's high sampling rate, it is possible to determine the polarization state...Go to contribution page

Martin Connors (Athabasca University)14/06/2016, 09:00Atmospheric and Space Physics / Physique atmosphérique et de l'espace (DASP-DPAE)Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)Most AUTUMNX sites were installed in late 2014, forming a meridian chain along the eastern shore of Hudson Bay. In early 2015, a second, more widely spaced, chain became operational at the longitude of Iqaluit/Kuujauq. These chains provide good coverage in longitude and latitude in eastern Canada, using highly accurate and reliable THEMIS class magnetometers from UCLA. Many substorms have been...Go to contribution page

Oyekola Etobicoke, ON M8V 3C8 Canada Email: ooyekola@gmail.com Abstract. The structure of evening and nighttime F-region vertical drift component of is vital for understanding the physics of the development of the occurrence of equatorial irregularities. In addition, postsunset ionospheric height has also been attributed as one of the most important factors for the occurrence...Go to contribution page

Prof. David Knudsen (University of Calgary)14/06/2016, 09:30Atmospheric and Space Physics / Physique atmosphérique et de l'espace (DASP-DPAE)Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)Launched in November 2013, European Space Agency's Swarm mission* is now halfway through its nominal science mission. Swarm's on-board experiments, including the Canadian Electric Field Instruments, continue to collect scientific data daily in conjunction with ground-based observatories in Canada and elsewhere. Numerous scientific investigations have been completed or are underway, covering...Go to contribution page

Johnathan Burchill (University of Calgary)14/06/2016, 09:45Atmospheric and Space Physics / Physique atmosphérique et de l'espace (DASP-DPAE)Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)The 3D ion drift measurements from the Electric Field Instruments (EFI) of the European Space Agency’s Swarm mission provide excellent opportunities for multi-satellite and ground-conjunction investigations of ionospheric and auroral physics. Ion drifts are derived from estimates of low-energy (<10 eV) ion energy/angle distributions obtained by Thermal Ion Imagers. In practice, the EFI...Go to contribution page
