EISCAT (ESR) and SOUSY (SSR) Svalbard Radar Observations of PMSE - Revisited - Differences, Similarities and Capabilities — •Jürgen Röttger — EISCAT-CAWSES-Copernicus and Max-Planck-Institute, 37191 Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany

The EISCAT Svalbard Radar (ESR) operates on 500 MHz; collocated (at a distance of 1.5 km) with it is the SOUSY Svalbard Radar (SSR), which operates on 53.5 MHz. We revisit earlier analyses of the summer mesosphere to show the capabilities when both radars are used. This is during PMSE coherent scatter conditions, where the ESR can also detect incoherent scatter and thus allows to estimate the electron density. We revisit and highlight observations of incoherent and coherent scatter and draw potential interpretations which had been casted earlier.
