The Fast Auroral Imager (FAI) on the CASSIOPE Enhanced Outflow Probe (e-POP) consists of two CCD cameras, which measure the atomic oxygen emission at 630 nm and prompt auroral emissions in the 650 to 1100 nm range, respectively, using a fast lens system and high quantum-efficiency CCDs to achieve high sensitivity, and a common 26 degree field-of-view to provide nighttime images of about 650 km...

The Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe (e-POP) is an 8-instrument scientific payload on the Canadian CASSIOPE small satellite, comprised of plasma, magnetic field, radio, and optical instruments designed for in-situ observations in the topside polar ionosphere at the highest-possible resolution. Its science objectives are to quantify the micro-scale characteristics of plasma outflow in the polar...

The problem of receiver Differential Code Biases (DCBs) in the use of GPS measurements of ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) has been a constant concern amongst network operators and data users since the advent of the use of GPS measurements for ionospheric monitoring. While modern methods have become highly refined, they still demonstrate unphysical bias behavior, namely notable solar...

In the first year of operation of the ePOP instruments on the Canadian small satellite CASSIOPE, a number of passes were recorded during which the Radio Receiver Instrument (RRI) measured radiation from powerful high-frequency ground transmitters that act as ionospheric heaters. In the case of measurements of transionospheric propagation from the Sura heating facility in Russia, located at...

Polar cap flow pattern and intensity depend on the IMF Bz and By components. For IMF Bz<0, the pattern is consistently two-celled, and previous studies indicate that flows are fastest near noon and midnight for By<0 and during afternoon-dusk hours for By>0. In this study, we investigate the polar cap flow intensity in two ways. First we consider highly-averaged (over each month of...
