Radio Wave Studies of Irregular Ionospheric Phenomena at Midlatitude

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking University of Crete as follows: The contractor will investigate irregular plasma physical processes in the mid-latitude ionosphere. Proposed research will focus on four topics: i) Formation and morphology of sporadic E layers (Es). 2) Plasma physics of instabilities and irregularities inside Es. 3) The role of unstable sporadic E in the generation of mid-latitude Spread F. 4) A new VLF experiment in Crete to perform measurements and studies of lightning-induced precipitation in the ionosphenc D region over Europe.
