Heated Up


Hmmm, digging in the EISCAT page I found some recent data from the Tromsø VHF radar:
I have no idea what this means, but the time of the data on the lower graph seems to match up with the reports.
A strange glowing spiral in the sky near an ionospheric heater capable of generating aurora-like phenomena and a chart from said facility showing a transmission at the same time? What could it all possibly mean?
UPDATE: See this post. Turns out EISCAT didn't do it.
