Abstract
Using the EISCAT system it is possible to determine the total vector of plasma velocity—and hence the electric field—both in the “monostatic” and “tristatic” mode. Results are presented for the evening of 18 May 1982 during the reversal of plasma velocity from westward to eastward. A comparison demonstrates that the random errors in the measured velocity are smallest in the monostatic mode using data taken at Tromsø, where the signal-to-noise ratio is highest. There is, however, a systematic error in the monostatic measurements due to horizontal gradients in plasma velocity.
