ACOUSTIC WAVES IN THE IONOSPHERE

Abstract

Acoustic wave characteristics in the upper atmosphere are deduced from temporal and spatial electron density variations obtained with the Arecibo back-scatter sounder. A theory is developed which relates the observed wave characteristics to the power spectrum of the wave sources. (Author)
