Incoherent Scatter Measurements of the High-Latitude Ionosphere

Abstract

Tasks summarized included incoherent scatter radar data taking and analysis, as well as software transfer, theoretical modeling of ionospheric plasma diffusion processes, and simulation of the proposed CRRES barium releases. Partial Contents: Scale-Size Dependent Plasma Diffusion Processes; Magnetospheric Generator Properties; Thermal-Ion Upwellings; and Radar Observations of a Pc4 Event. Keywords: Plasma diffusion, Ionospheric plasma structure.
