Status of IAP radars on Andøya• MAARSY

– May 2010: Operation with 210 transceiver modules (45%)– Summer 2010: PMSE observation, first 3D-experiments – December 2010: second expansion stage with 343 transceiver modules (80%)– April 2011: completion of installation

• Andenes MF radar– new foundation and air-condition– installation of new power cable by Andøy Energy– disturbances probably due to arcing isolators in overhead power lines are still present!

• Saura MF radar– upgrade of local network started

• SKiYMET meteor radar– disturbances probably due to arcing isolators in overhead power lines are still present– investigation by IAP engineer is planned for April 2011– refurbishment of antennas is planned for 2011
