Platteville Heating Results: HF Radar Observations.
Abstract
Measurements were made during the Platteville ionospheric heating experiments. The measurements, made at the Wide Aperture Research Facility (WARF) were of the HF-induced backscatter over Colorado. The standard Fiedld-Aligned Scatter (FAS) was seen from about 16 to 30 MHz, and an absolute cross section of 10 million square meters was observed. Possible enhancements of direct scatter and round-the-world propagation through the heated region were noted. Attempts to measure elevated mode propagation from Australia to the heated region will be made in the near future.
