Spatial and temporal evolution of 630. 0 nm airglow enhancement during ionospheric heating experiments

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5265241
Images of 630.00 nm enhancements have been recorded during the January, 1986 ionospheric heating campaign at Arecibo. The artificial airglow clouds convected eastward, vanished, and then reappeared at the zenith of the HF heater. Occasionally, the airglow patches are bifurcated. The structure and motion of the airglow clouds is an indication of the dynamic behavior of the modified ionosphere. 5 refs., 8 figs.
