Record 7 2004-01-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Telecommunications Transmission
CONT

The behaviour of the ionosphere and HF [High Frequency] wave propagation parameters and their possible changes can be described using ionospheric oblique sounding (IOS) data. With the help of this method the maximum observed frequency (MOF), the maximum useable frequency (MUF), the lowest observed frequency (LOF), the number of propagation modes and the signal delays can be determined.

OBS

The changing state of the ionosphere is generally monitored by networks of vertical ionosondes. These radars transmit and receive HF(1-30MHz) radio waves to and from the ionosphere directly above the monitoring station. The result is real-time information on the state of the ionosphere needed by communications users allowing them to adapt their operational systems accordingly. The oblique ionospheric sounder extends this idea. The transmitter and receiver of the oblique sounder are not co-located like the vertical but are generally hundreds thousands of kilometres apart. So the instrument is able to study how the radio signals of real communications(below 30MHz) propagate via the ionosphere under a variety of conditions. However the interpretation of the oblique propagation is also significantly harder than the case of the vertical.

Subject field(s)
  • Titles of International Programs
  • Solar Power Plants
OBS

The Solar-Terrestrial Energy Program(STEP) ran from 1990-1997, and was a precursor of the current Space Weather program in the United States and other countries. It was an integrated effort to study activity on the Sun, propagation of energy bursts from the Sun to near-Earth space, energy coupling into the magnetosphere, and its redistribution and deposition in the upper and middle atmosphere. Satellites in orbit, astronauts in space, and Earth's surface technology are affected by such events.

Subject field(s)
  • Space Physics
CONT

The method of enhanced microwave scattering is based on the measurement of the signal, which is Back Scattered(BS) in the Upper Hybrid Resonance(UHR) vicinity. At first this technique was applied to small-scale oscillations and waves investigations in quiet plasma of linear laboratory devices. But now this method is introduced for a study of plasma small-scale turbulence and wave propagation in the tokamak plasma.
