Ionospheric vorticity across the northern polar ionosphere determined from SuperDARN velocity data - 2000 to 2005 inclusive

The data set comprises of ionospheric vorticity estimates determined from measurements of ionospheric velocity made by the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN). The vorticity estimates have been determined across the whole of the northern hemisphere polar ionosphere. The data cover the interval from 2000 to 2005 inclusive.

Statement

The overall quality of the vorticity estimates is highly dependent on the raw SuperDARN velocity data that provide the primary data source. These are generally of high quality with low errors. The quality of the vorticity estimates is mostly affected by missing velocity data. To mitigate this the vorticity estimates are only determined when adequate SuperDARN velocity data are available.

See Chisham et al. (2009) for full details regarding data quality.
