Data from the EISCAT UHF and VHF between 2001- 2021, integrated at 10 minutes and 1 hour between 50-200km

We have produced 20-year archives of electron density measurements, at 1 hour and 10-minute integration times, by reanalysing measurements from the EISCAT UHF and VHF radars between 2001-2021. We are specifically looking at altitudes 50-200 km to capture the variability in the Mesosphere Lower Thermosphere Ionosphere (MLT-I) region. We have also separately included power profile data, providing measurements of the raw electron density which can be added (with careful assumptions) to improve data resolution at the lower altitudes.

Funding was provided by NERC project NE/V018426/1 (MesoS2D)
