Ionospheric vorticity across the northern hemisphere ionosphere determined from particular SuperDARN radar pairs - 2000 to 2005 inclusive
The data set comprises ionospheric vorticity estimates determined from measurements of ionospheric velocity made by overlapping pairs of northern hemisphere radars in the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN). The vorticity estimates are separated into data files for each pair of SuperDARN radars that contributed to the whole data set. These data cover large regions of the northern hemisphere polar ionosphere, and the locations of the vorticity estimates are presented in both geographic and Altitude-Adjusted Corrected GeoMagnetic (AACGM) co-ordinates. 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 around the closed loops. To mitigate this, the vorticity estimates are only determined when adequate SuperDARN velocity data covering all sides of the closed loop are available. See Chisham et al. (2009) for full details regarding data quality.
