The Qujing incoherent scatter radar: system description and preliminary measurements

The midnight temperature maximum from Arecibo incoherent scatter radar ion temperature measurements

The midnight temperature maximum (MTM) is studied using ion temperature data from the incoherent scatter radar at the Arecibo Observatory (18.31N, 66.21W). The MTM is characterized by fitting the radar data with a function that takes into account diurnal, semidiurnal and terdiurnal components. Under the hypothesis that the MTM is related to the amplification of the terdiurnal wave, a Gaussian a...

New Incoherent Scatter Radar Measurement Techniques and Data Analysis Methods

This dissertation presents new incoherent scatter radar measurement techniques and data analysis methods. The measurements used in the study were collected by connecting a computer-based receiver to the EISCAT (European Incoherent SCATter) radar on Svalbard. This hardware consists of a spectrum analyzer, a PCI-bus-based programmable digital I/O card and a desktop computer with a large-capacity ...

A statistical study of ionospheric profile parameters derived from Millstone Hill incoherent scatter radar measurements

[1] Diurnal, seasonal, and solar activity variations of the bottomside electron density profile parameters B0 and B1, representing the F2 layer thickness and shape, are studied using a large incoherent scatter radar dataset for Millstone Hill covering the period 1976–2002. These results are compared with the latest IRI model. Our statistical study is characterized by morning and afternoon falls...
