STARE velocities: the importance of off-orthogonality and ion motions

A 3.5-h morning event of joint EISCAT/STARE observations is considered and the differences between the observed STARE velocities and the electron drift components (EISCAT) are studied. We find that the STARE-Finland radar velocity was larger than the EISCAT convec-tion component for a prolon...
