Lee, M C

Since October 1, 1991 experimental and theoretical research has been conducted by Prof. Min-Chang Lee and his students at BU and MIT. This research work is aimed at investigating the ionospheric plasma disturbances which can affect significantly the radio wave propagation in communications and space surveillance. The research topics which have been investigated include: (1) A source mechanism leading to the symmetric lower hybrid sidebands and a low-frequency mode in the upper atmosphere, (2) Characteristics of lightning-induced plasmas, (3) Radio wave-produced plasmas and effects on radio communications, (4) Plasma turbulence and formation of field aligned density fluctuations as ionospheric ducts.
