Theoretical and Experimental Study of Gravity Waves in the Ionosphere Observed With Incoherent Scatter Radar
… Ionospheric parameters observed with the incoherent scatter radars at Sondrestrom and Millstone Hill were compared with predicted results based on gravity wave theory. In the observed data, usually two types of disturbances can be identified. One is the distinct, semiperiodic traveling …

Spectral studies of small-scale auroral structure and plasma instability in the high-latitude ionosphere
… lines, or NEIALs, which have been observed by incoherent-scatter radars at high-latitudes. It has been proposed that these radar enhancements result from natural plasma instability, causing the generation of ion-acoustic waves through the decay of unstable Langmuir waves, themselves driven by …

Study of Coulomb collisions and magneto-ionic propagation effects on incoherent scatter radar measurements at Jicamarca
… and magneto-ionic propagation effects on the incoherent scatter radar measurements have been studied and analyzed in detail. The present study aims at modeling radar observations of the equatorial ionosphere carried out at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory (Lima, Peru) using antenna beams …

Near-optimal inversion of incoherent scatter radar measurements: coding schemes, processing techniques, and experiments
… scheme and inversion methodology using Arecibo incoherent scatter radar (ISR) to achieve efficient, and near-optimal estimates of the key ionospheric parameters. In particular, this work considers two aspects of the ISR inversion problem: (i) ISR lag estimates at individual altitudes, and (ii) …

Modeling of Polar Cap Ionospheric Patches and Attendant Plasma Instabilities: Initialization from Data and Parametric Analysis
… spatial resolution (terrestrial systems such as incoherent scatter radars and all sky imagers). Computer modeling and simulation has emerged as a useful tool in efforts to overcome observational limitations and provide an analyzable substantiation of the theoretical framework of ionospheric …
