Book Description
The object of this contract was to develop a unified model for radio wave propagation in the 2-147 MHz band at high latitudes, especially during disturbances. This particularly included the analysis and measurement of the frequency dependence during polar cap absorption events and assessment of the effects of artificially induced perturbations on radio waves within this band. This project concentrated on single hop HF ionospheric propagation in the 2-30 MHz band and VHF meteor scatter in the 45-147 MHz band.

Book Description
A comprehensive review of global ionospheric research from the polar caps to equatorial regions It's more than a century since scientists first identified the ionosphere, the layer of the Earth’s upper atmosphere that is ionized by solar and cosmic radiation. Our understanding of this dynamic part of the near-Earth space environment has greatly advanced in recent years thanks to new observational technologies, improved numerical models, and powerful computing capabilities. Ionosphere Dynamics and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of historic developments, recent advances, and future directions in ionospheric research. Volume highlights include: Behavior of the ionosphere in different regions from the poles to the equator Distinct characteristics of the high-, mid-, and low-latitude ionosphere Observational results from ground- and space-based instruments Ionospheric impacts on radio signals and satellite operations How earthquakes and tsunamis on Earth cause disturbances in the ionosphere The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

Observation of Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances by the Doppler Technique with Spaced Transmitters
Author: John Emory Jones
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Doppler radar
Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
This report describes a radio investigation of traveling ionospheric disturbances carried out near Boulder, Colorado, over a 1-year period from June 1967 to June 1968. The three-dimensional motions of F2 layer disturbances were measured by the high frequency Doppler technique with spaced transmitters and at several probing frequencies. Horizontal motions were determined by cross-correlating three signals on frequencies near 5 MHz, whose reflection points were approximately at the corners of a horizontal equilateral triangle with 40-km sides. Vertical motions were determined from cross-correlation of signals on frequencies of 3.3, 4.0, and 5.1 MHz, whose reflection points were aligned vertically.

Radio Techniques for Probing the Terrestrial Ionosphere
Author: Robert D. Hunsucker
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642762573
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
In the years since the pioneering efforts of Sir Edward Appleton, M. A. F. Barnett, G. Breit, and M. A. Thve, many radio techniques have been employed to investigate the terrestrial ionosphere. The purposes of this book are to exam ine the basic physical interaction process of radio waves with the ionosphere, scrutinize each of the radio techniques currently in use, and describe the elements of each technique, as well as assess their capabilities and limitations. I have included some of the history of each technique, since we often tend to forget the efforts of the "pioneers". The interaction of radio waves with the terrestrial ionosphere has been described in considerable detail in several "classic" treatments, e.g., Ratcliffe (1959), Al'pert (1963), Budden (1961) and Davies (1965), Rishbeth and e.g., Flock (1979), Davies Garriott (1969), and in other more recent books, (1990), Hargreaves (1979), and Budden (1985). A few of the radio techniques have been described by Hargreaves (1979) and a book by Giraud and Petit (1978) has also included discussion of several of the techniques. The "WITS" handbook No. 2 (1989) also contains description of several radio techniques.

High-Frequency Radiowave Probing of the High-Latitude Ionosphere
Author: Raymond A. Greenwald
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 14
Book Description
During the past several years, a program of high-frequency radiowave studies of the high latitude ionosphere has been developed. Studies are now being conducted on the formation and motion of high-latitude ionospheric electron density irregularities, using a sophisticated high-frequency radar system installed at Goose Bay, Labrador. The radar antenna is also being used to receive signals from a beacon transmitter located at Thule, Greenland. This information is providing a better understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of high-latitude propagation channels and their relationship to disturbances in the magnetosphere ionosphere system.
