MHz radar observations of artificial E region field - aligned plasma irregularities
Artificial E region field aligned irregularities (FAIs) have been observed during heating experiments at the HAARP facility using a new 30 MHz coherent scatter radar imager deployed near Homer, Alaska. Irregularities were observed during brief experiments on three quiet days in July and August, 2007, when the daytime E region critical frequency was close to 3 MHz. Irregularities were consistent...
متن کاملFirst E region observations of mesoscale neutral wind interaction with auroral arcs
[1] We report the first observations of E region neutral wind fields and their interaction with auroral arcs at mesoscale spatial resolution during geomagnetically quiet conditions at Mawson, Antarctica. This was achieved by using a scanning Doppler imager, which can observe thermospheric neutral line‐of‐sight winds and temperatures simultaneously over a wide field of view. In two cases, the ba...
متن کاملFirst VHF auroral radarinterferometer observations
The radar interferometer technique on two separate antennas. The coherence first used at the magnetic equator in Peru is (amplitude) of the cross spectrum at each also a very powerful means for studying auroral frequency is a measure of how localized the plasma instabilities. We present here the first scattering target corresponding to that results, obtained with a 49.92 MHz, 20-25 KW peak part...
متن کاملMulti-frequency observations of E-region HF radar aurora
Multi-frequency observations of E-region coherent backscatter from decametre waves reveal that auroral echoes tend to comprise two spectral components superimposed, one at low Doppler shifts, below 250 m s−1, and the other Doppler shifted to near the ion-acoustic speed or above, up to 800 m s−1. The low Doppler shift component occurs at all look directions; Doppler shifts near the ion acoustic ...
متن کاملRadar observations in the vicinity of pre-noon auroral arcs
A combination of EISCAT incoherent scatter radar measurements, optical and magnetometer data is used to study the plasma in and around pre-noon structured precipitation and auroral arcs. Particular attention is paid to regions of comparatively low E-region density observed adjacent to arcs or structured precipitation in the EISCAT Svalbard radar field-aligned measurements. Comparison between lu...
