PFSR and RISR-N participate in first optical campaign to use all high-latitude ISRs, coordinated by Ph.D. candidate Magnar Johnsen of U. Tromsø (currently at Boston U.). PFSR and RISR-N also operate for 6-day WD run to study temporal and latitudinal behavior of electron density changes, particularly near the plasmaspheric boundary layer.
