An auroral ionospheric investigation: a preliminary report on electron density profiles. Memorandum report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7304729
This is the first in a series of reports with the results of a major NASA program coordinating rocket, balloon, and ground-base auroral studies at Poker Flat, Alaska. The program, carrying the code name AUROROZONE, was designed to study the effects of energetic particle precipitation on the ionosphere and the coupling of particle energy to lower altitudes through x-ray bremsstrahlung radiation. The interest in lower altitude effects focused on changes in ozone, electrical conductivity and temperature. This initial report presents the preliminary findings on the ionospheric plasma state in the 60-230 km region as determined by the Naval Research Laboratory's pulsed plasma probe experiment carried on the Nike-Tomahawk payloads.
