English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Traffic Control
CONT

Most oceanic air traffic control, up to now, has relied on voice communications with aircraft to determine their positions. This voice communication, over HF [high frequency] radio, was combined with a time-consuming process to plan routes, separate the aircraft safely, and monitor their positions.

Subject field(s)
  • Air Traffic Control
CONT

The absence of real-time surveillance over the North Atlantic is exacerbated by the continuing inability of oceanic air traffic controllers to communicate directly with aircraft overflying the Atlantic. Today's communications rely upon high frequency(HF) radios requiring specialist radio operators as intermediaries between pilots and controllers.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circulation et trafic aériens
CONT

L'absence de surveillance en temps réel au-dessus de l'Atlantique Nord est aggravée par le fait que les contrôleurs de la circulation aérienne océanique ne peuvent jamais communiquer directement avec les avions qui survolent l'océan. Les télécommunications modernes se font au moyen de radios haute fréquence (HF) et elles doivent être relayées par un opérateur radio spécialisé entre les pilotes et les contrôleurs.

DEF

polar cap absorption events : Episodes of intense absorption of HF and VHF radio waves over the polar caps caused by excess ionization resulting from an influx of solar energetic particles into the upper atmosphere.

CONT

A polar cap absorption event results from the ionisation of the D-layer of the polar ionosphere by high energy protons. A PCA causes a HF radio blackout for transpolar circuits and can last several days. PCAs are almost always preceded by a major solar flare with the time between the flare event and the onset of the PCA ranging from few minutes to several hours.

CONT

PCA events have a pronounced diurnal variation, being much more intense during daytime than at night, and typically last for two to three days.

CONT

Raytheon's IMS [Integrated Maritime Surveillance] uses land-based long-range surface wave radar, which transmits high frequency(HF) radio waves that follow the earth's curvature. The SWR-503 Surface Wave Radar detects and tracks aircraft, surface vessels and icebergs out to 500 km from the shore in a sector of up to 120 degrees. The radar also provides current and surface wind data. At an Operations Control Centre, the IMS system correlates detections from surface wave radar sites with identification information from ADS systems and other sensors. All of this data is fused to create a database and display system providing a complete picture of surface and air activity in the EEZ. Vessel tracks can be run backward and forward in time, enhancing military patrols and coast guard search-and-rescue efforts as well as oil spill control, drug interdiction, and iceberg alerts. Applications for HF Surface Wave Radar are being developed in fields such as Theatre Ballistic Missile and Meteor Shower Detection.

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.
