EISCAT

EISCAT (European Incoherent Scatter AB, formerly EISCAT Scientific Association) is a non-profit scientific research organisation that operates three incoherent scatter radar systems in Northern Scandinavia and Svalbard, as well as an ionospheric heating and short-wave radar facility.

The facilities are used to study the interaction between the Sun and the Earth as revealed by disturbances in the ionosphere and magnetosphere.

The EISCAT Scientific Association exists to provide scientists with access to incoherent scatter radar facilities of the highest technical standard.
