Field-Aligned Ionization Scatter Geometry Applied to Transequatorial Paths.

Abstract

The mathematical description of the geometry for forward specular scattering of radio waves by field-aligned ionization irregularities has been extended to cover transequeatorial ray paths. The equations presented include expressions for paths involving either one scattering point in the same geomagnetic hemisphere as the transmitter, or two scattering points, one on each side of the geomagnetic equator.
