Radar backscatter from plasma irregularities of the lower E region induced by neutral turbulence
Recently, one of the authors (A. V. G.) developed a theory of low-frequency plasma irregularities which are created as a consequence of neutral turbulence in the D and lower E regions. In the following this theory will be applied to coherent backscatter experiments with radars in a frequency range between 5 and 150 MHz. We discuss the dependence of the backscatter cross-section on ionospheric a...
متن کاملStudy of equatorial E region irregularities using rare daytime VHF scintillation observations
Scintillations on VHF radio signal are sparsely observed during daytime due to unavailability of strong electron density irregularities in equatorial E or F region. Type I/II irregularities observed at E region altitudes during the daytime are linked with either two-stream or gradient drift instability. The occurrence of these irregularities in presence of strong blanketing Es (Esb) can produce...
متن کاملSimultaneous VHF radar backscatter and ionosonde observations of low-latitude E region
The first results of simultaneous observations made on the low-latitude field-aligned irregularities (FAI) using the MST radar located at Gadanki (13.5 N, 79.2 E, dip 12.5) and the Es parameters using an ionosonde at a nearby station Sriharikota (13.7 N, 80.1 E, dip 12.6) are presented. The observations show that while the height of the most intense radar echoes is below the virtual height of E...
متن کاملVHF Lightning Observations by Digital Interferometry from ISS / JEM-GLIMS
Global Lightning and sprIte MeasurementS (GLIMS) mission is now ongoing on Exposed Facility of Japanese Experiment Module (JEM-EF) of the International Space Station (ISS). This paper focuses on an electromagnetic (EM) payload of JEM-GLIMS mission, very high frequency (VHF) broadband digital InTerFerometer (VITF). JEM-GLIMS mission is designed to conduct comprehensive observations with both EM ...
متن کاملSimultaneous meteor echo observations by largeaperture VHF and UHF radars
We report simultaneous meteor echo observations using the Arecibo 430MHz and 46.8-MHz radars. Using identical data-taking and meteor selection criteria, 1868 and 367 meteors were found in the 430-MHz and 46.8-MHz beams, respectively, while 145 were found in both beams during the 7 hours of observation. Of the 367 VHF echoes, there were only 10 trail echoes, while the rest were head echoes, whic...
