The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) is a network of high-frequency (HF) radars located in the high- and mid-latitude regions both hemispheres that operated under international cooperation. was originally designed for monitoring dynamics ionosphere upper atmosphere high-latitude regions. However, over last approximately 15 years, SuperDARN has expanded into With radar coverage now extends continuously from auroral to sub-auroral mid-latitudes, wide variety new scientific findings...

Abstract Over the last decade, Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) has undergone a dramatic expansion in Northern Hemisphere with addition of more than dozen radars offering improved coverage at mid‐latitudes (50°–60° magnetic latitude) and polar cap (80°–90° latitude). In this study, we derive statistical model ionospheric convection (TS18) using line‐of‐sight velocity measurements from complete network mid‐latitude, high‐latitude, for years 2010–2016. These climatological patterns...

The recent addition of two radars to the existing network six Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) HF in Northern Hemisphere has significantly extended area high latitude where measurements convecting ionospheric plasma are made. We show that distribution electrostatic potential Φ associated with “ E × B ” drift can be reliably mapped on global scales when velocity measurments provide sufficient coverage. convection maps, or equivalent solved using an established technique fitting...

We present simultaneous measurements of flow velocities inside a subauroral polarization stream (SAPS) made by six midlatitude high‐frequency SuperDARN radars. The instantaneous observations cover three hours universal time and magnetic local (MLT). From velocity variations across the field‐of‐view radars we infer 2D direction at different longitudes. find that SAPS channel is remarkably constant over course event. speed, however, shows significant temporal spatial variations. After...

In this work, we present a novel approach for identifying the ageing history of lithium-ion batteries based on experimental nonlinear frequency response analysis (NFRA) measurements. A regression model, trained simulated NFRA data, is shown to be capable quantifying degradation modes such as solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) growth, lithium plating, and loss active material (LAM) with no a-priori knowledge cell's historical duty. Our analysis, combining simulation approaches, demonstrates...
