Ground-based HF to VHF radar calibration by scattering off a stratospheric balloon [PDF]
The knowledge of radar system properties is crucial for judging radar performance and correctly interpreting received raw and analysed data. The most critical part of that is the radiation pattern, which is often very difficult to measure for atmospheric/

Ionospheric electron heating, optical emissions, and striations induced by powerful HF radio waves at high latitudes: Aspect angle dependence [PDF]
In recent years, large electron temperature increases of 300% (3000 K above background) caused by powerful HF-radio wave injection have been observed during nighttime using the EISCAT incoherent scatter radar near Tromsø in northern Norway.

D region HF radar echoes associated with energetic particle precipitation and pulsating aurora [PDF]
Milan et al. (2001) identified a class of narrow, slow-moving HF radar backscatter echoes which originate between altitudes of 80 and 100 km, the ionospheric D- and lower E-regions.

DIRECTION FINDING OF HF SIGNALS SCATTERED BY IONOSPHERIC IRREGULARITIES USING SMALL SIZE ANTENNA
Purpose: A modification of the Doppler Interferometry Technique is suggested to enable estimating angles of arrival of comparatively broadband HF signals scattered by random irregularities of the ionospheric plasma with the use of small-size near ...

On the factors controlling occurrence of F-region coherent echoes [PDF]
International audienceSeveral factors are known to control the HF echo occurrence rate, including electron density distribution in the ionosphere (affecting the propagation path of the radar wave), D-region radio wave absorption, and ionospheric ...

Evidence of low‐latitude daytime large‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances observed by high‐frequency multistatic backscatter sounding system during a geomagnetically quiet period [PDF]
Observations from the high‐frequency multistatic backscatter sounding radars on a geomagnetically quiet day (minimum Dst = −14 nT) captured the anti‐equatorward propagation of daytime large‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbance (LSTID) at the low‐latitude regions. The observed LSTID was characterized approximately by a meridional propagation speed of

The influence of magnetospheric substorms on SuperDARN radar backscatter [PDF]
The SuperDARN ionospheric radar network is a leading tool for investigating the near-Earth space environment. However, reductions in ionospheric backscatter have been reported during magnetospheric substorms.

Abstract Shortwave fadeout (SWF) is a typical dayside high‐frequency radio disturbance caused by solar flare‐induced ionospheric ionization enhancement. Using newly built Chinese Dual Auroral Radar Network (CN‐DARN) observations, we investigate two X‐flare‐driven SWFs during the May 2024 geomagnetic superstorm (SYM‐H = −518 nT), on 10 May (pre‐storm ...

Abstract Trans‐ionospheric high frequency (HF: 3–30 MHz) response to atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) is studied in the middle‐latitude ionosphere in relation to thunderstorm activity. SuperDARN HF radar observations are compared against the model simulations to quantify the impact of GW‐generated medium‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTID ...
