The Microwave Applications Theory Program at NRL and Some Chemistry Code Applications to Ionospheric Heating by Microwave Radiation.

Abstract

A brief outline of the Microwave Applications program at NRL is presented. The goal of the program is to develop comprehensive codes for microwave air breakdown and microwave interaction with matter which can easily be applied for a wide range of applications. Also presented are results of microwave energy deposition in the ionosphere using the NRL Master Code for the disturbed E and F regions. Time histories of oxygen metastable states are presented for several levels of microwave power. From these, emission at 5577 A and 6300 A can be obtained. (Author)
