Description:Since the installation at the Antarctic Jang Bogo Station (JBS) in 2017, Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) has been operating the Vertical Incidence Pulsed Ionospheric Radar (VIPIR) equipped with Dynasonde analysis (JVD). The two‐dimensional ion velocity is one of the key ionospheric parameters obtained from the JVD. The ionospheric ion velocities are compared with simultaneous, but independent, measurements of the Doppler velocity obtained from SuperDARN East radar at Dome C. The JVD ion velocity vector is projected to the line‐of‐sight direction of the SuperDARN observation over the JBS to be directly compared with each other. The result of comparison shows a reasonable agreement with the correlation coefficient of 0.72. The linear regression coefficient of about 0.5 represents that the JVD ion velocity is generally smaller than the SuperDARN observations by the regression coefficient, which may result from the different height ranges of the measurements. It is also found that the correlation coefficient increases with increasing magnetic activity (Kp), which suggests that the small‐scale ionospheric density irregularities tend to move with large‐scale plasma motion that is driven by enhanced plasma convection with increasing Kp.
