14 Conclusion  Large-scale travelling ionospheric disturbance was observed at the same time by SuperDARN Hokkiado radar and by East-Siberian chirp sounders network on March 17, 2007.  TID mostly propagates in southward direction that is typical for midlatitudes (T~2.5-3 h, ~1700-2000 km,  ~190 m/s). The comparison between the two instruments shows a good agreement in estimated TID`s parameters. The possible source of the TID is an area at the boundary of the auroral oval.  The joint use of the SuperDARN Hokkaido HF radar and Russian chirp sounders network data allows to take more information about large-scale TID`s propagating in the Asia north-east. Future expansion of chirp sounders network and also installation of Russian segment SuperDARN radars will allow more possibilities in diagnostics of TIDs and identification their sources.
