| Description | Ionospheric data measured with SENSU SuperDARN Syowa South HF radar at Syowa Station. The data recorded after 1995 are available in the Common Data Format (CDF). The data set mainly includes the backscatter echo power, line-of-sight plasma velocity, and spectral width with temporal resolution of 2 minutes. |

| Terms of Use | Data distributed with this CDF file can be used freely for scientific research. Please note that the data are not fully calibrated and may still contain glitches and errors which could yield scientifically wrong or misleading results. We strongly recommend working directly or checking with the PI (Natsuo Sato, ROIS/NIPR), Co-PI (A. Sessai Yukimatu, ROIS/NIPR) (E-mail: sdsensu [at] uap.nipr.ac.jp) and/or researchers of the other SuperDARN PI groups regarding data accuracy and interpretation. Data users must contact the PI before any form of presentation/publication including any fraction or the entire part of data. Please acknowledge the research grant which enables the construction and operation of the SENSU SuperDARN Syowa HF radars. An example of the acknowledgement statement is as follows: "SENSU SuperDARN Syowa HF radar data were provided by National Institute of Polar Research, Japan. This research was mainly supported by the Research Program of Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology of Japan (MEXT)." |
