CS Radar Data
Incoherent Scatter Radar Data Fusion and Computation
The EISCAT-3D radar, https://eiscat3d.se/, is a next-generation incoherent scatter radar system operated by the EISCAT association. It is a world-leading infrastructure using the incoherent scatter technique to study the atmosphere in the Fenno-Scandinavian Arctic and to investigate how the Earth’s high latitude atmosphere is coupled to space.
The Sanya Incoherent Scatter radar (SYISR) is also a next-generation incoherent scatter radar system under design and construction by the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGGCAS). It will use the incoherent scatter technique to study the atmosphere at the low latitude in the East Asia region and to investigate how the Earth’s low latitude atmosphere is coupled to space.
Both radars aim to establish a system of distributed phased array radars that enable comprehensive three-dimensional vector observations of the atmosphere and ionosphere. The use of new radar technology, combined with the latest digital signal processing, will achieve ten times higher temporal and spatial resolution than obtained by present radars while simultaneously offering, for the first time, continuous measurement capabilities. Both systems will allow the study of atmospheric phenomena at both large and small scales unreachable by the present systems. The new system will be implemented for a wide range of users and applications. The continuous data coverage will facilitate the inclusion of detailed incoherent scatter radar data into climate and Earth system modelling.
Free flow for massive research data is one of the typical use scenarios within different subjects. The EISCAT-3d and SYISR radar data use case focuses more on the technical interoperability of the data. The large scale of data that will be transferred and managed online provides the GOSC Initiative with an excellent scenario in which many cloud federation techniques can test their deployments and iterate further developments.
