AB: A 30 Mhz imaging radar located in Anchorage, Alaska provided ground support for the JOULE campaign in March 2003. During the campaign, we observed type 1 and type 2 echoes with Doppler shifts that showed rapid variations in space and time. We will present velocity field variations using spectral decomposition of the radar echo types and provide electric field estimates as a function of range and azimuth. Instrumented rocket flights took place in the region illuminated by the radar which would allow us to compare the electric field estimates from the radar with the in-situ rocket measurements.
