Diagnostic Experiments for Ivory Coral

Abstract

In setting up models for the behavior of radio waves scattered from artificial spread F (ASF) irregularities, it is necessary to devise appropriate diagnostic techniques to determine the detailed morphology of the irregularities. One such experiment, using scintillation of satellite signals, is described and suitable experimental configurations are given. Possible remote effects at magnetic conjugate locations are described, together with the possibility of triggering artificial aurora. Experimental tests for these possibilities are outlined.
