The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) is a powerful tool for monitoring ionospheric plasma convection and electron density changes in the high- and mid-latitude ionosphere. In particular, the mid-latitude SuperDARN radars, which cover the geomagnetic latitudinal range as low as about 40 degrees, have been operational for more than 15 years, and have been yielding many scientific results on several topics, such as the Sub-Auroral Polarization Streams (SAPS), mid-latitude ionospheric flows at mid-latitudes during quiet and disturbed periods, Traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs), and Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) waves. Please refer to the presentation by Yukimatu et al. in the same session for high-latitude SuperDARN topics. The SuperDARN data from both high- and mid-latitudes have been assigned digital object identifiers (DOIs) to facilitate the data access, analyses and citations. This paper will present recent progress and future perspectives of the mid-latitude SuperDARN.
