The SCIFER sounding rocket experimentThe sounding of the cleft on ion fountain energization region (SCIFER) experiment is described. The purpose of the SCIFER experiment was to study the upper ionosphere and cleft ion fountain by overflying Svalbard (Norway) with sounding rockets. Deep ionospheric density canyons were observed. The SCIFER demonstrated the correlation between accelerated ions, broadband low frequency electric fields, and reduced plasma density at 1400 km altitude in the pre-noon cleft.
