English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics

CONT

When the electron density profile is assumed to be a parabolic distribution in the direction of wave propagation, the effects of air pressure, incident field strength, wave frequency, and plasma thickness on the maximum electron density are investigated.

Record 4 2003-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

The WHISPER instrument [Waves of High Frequency and Sounder for Probing of Electron Density by Relaxation] yields two data sets :(i) the electron density determined via the relaxation sounder, and(ii) the spectrum of natural plasma emissions in the frequency band 2-80 kHz. Both data sets allow three dimensional exploration of the magnetosphere by the Cluster mission.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments scientifiques
  • Travaux de recherche dans l'espace
CONT

L'instrument WHISPER fait l'analyse par transformée de Fourier numérique des émissions électriques naturelles captées par l'instrument EFW (élément du WEC [Wave Experiment Consortium]) dans la gamme haute fréquence (de 2 kHz à 80 kHz). Complété par un émetteur construit au DSRI (Danish Space Research Institute), il mesure la densité du plasma par sondage à relaxation.

Record 5 2002-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Range Measurements (Telecommunications)
  • Radio Waves
CONT

Theoretical studies have shown the potential scientific value of multi-spacecraft radio tomographic imaging of the magnetosphere. The <10 RE WIND perigee passes during August 2000 afforded a unique opportunity to test and verify the capabilities of radio tomography by measuring interspacecraft electromagnetic wave propagation parameters using the Radio Plasma Imager(RPI) on IMAGE as the transmitter and the WAVES instrument on WIND as the receiver.... We show how changes in the path-integrated electron density/magnetic field product can be unambiguously measured from this continuous, low signal to noise ratio, single frequency measurement.
