Millstone Hill radar studies of plasma waves and turbulence. Final report, 1 August 1992-31 October 1995

OSTI ID:285143
The principal object of this research program was the investigation of ionospheric plasma waves and turbulence at mid and high latitudes using the M.I.T. Millstone Hill UHF radar. A three-year program of radar observations and analysis investigated plasma wave and turbulence occurrence characteristics, the relationship of turbulence to the auroral dynamics and structure associated with stable auroral red arcs, validation of ionospheric radiotomography techniques used for determining ionospheric structure, and the possible enhancement of plasma waves due to lightning-induced effects. Monostatic and bi-static radar experiments were performed to collect data on E region turbulence for use in these investigations. A unique body of observations was obtained for investigating flow angle and magnetic aspect angle characteristics of E region turbulence. Techniques and results have been described in the published literature, as indicated below.
