Studies of Electrostatic Waves and VLF-Wave Particle Interaction in the Ionosphere
Abstract
This is the final report for the contract N00014-90-C-0003. Under this contract a HF plasma wave receiver was delivered for the Swedish spacecraft Freja and subsequently launched in October, 1992. The receiver was designed to sense short wavelength intermittent plasma waves in the frequency range characterized by the electroplasma and gyrofrequency. The receiver is operating nominally and preliminary data analysis indicates the common occurrence of coherent and modulated Langmuir waves with amplitudes of several to greater than 20 mV/m. Plasma waves, Langmuir waves, Ionosphere, Aurora.
