Deriving the Ionospheric Electric Field From the Bulk Motion of Radar Aurora in the E‐Region
Abstract In the auroral E‐region strong electric fields can create an environment characterized by fast plasma drifts. These fields lead to strong Hall currents which trigger small‐scale plasma instabilities that evolve into turbulence. Radio waves transmitted by radars are scattered off of this turbulence, giving rise to the ‘radar aurora’.

Abstract A Low lAtitude long Range Ionospheric raDar (LARID), which was built recently at Dongfang (19.2°N, 108.8°E, magnetic latitude 13.9°), Hainan Is., China, is employed to study the ionospheric variability over a large region. The LARID consists of two high frequency (HF) coherent backscatter radars, looking toward east and west, respectively ...

Optimising collection geometry for long‐range synthetic aperture sonar interferometry
A technique is presented to optimise data collection geometry in synthetic aperture sonar interferometry. This can be used to maximise the area coverage rate in seabed imaging and mapping. Abstract Interferometric synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) is a technique to image and map the seabed in very high resolution. For large area coverage rate systems with

The theory of intensity interferometry revisited [PDF]
With the current revival of interest in astronomical intensity interferometry, it is interesting to revisit the associated theory, which was developed in the 1950s and 1960s. This paper argues that intensity interferometry can be understood as an extension of Fraunhofer diffraction to incoherent light. Interference patterns are still produced, but they

Damage accumulation near the cold-expanded hole due to high-cycle fatigue by crack compliance method
The novel destructive method is implemented for quantitative assessment of fatigue damage accumulation in the stress concentration zone accompanied by residual stress due to cold expansion of the through-thickness hole. Damage accumulation is reached by

A long-held astronomical vision is to realize diffraction-limited optical aperture synthesis over kilometer baselines. This will enable imaging of stellar surfaces and their environments, show their evolution over time, and reveal interactions of stellar

Optical strain measuring techniques for high temperature tensile testing [PDF]
A number of optical techniques used for the analysis of in-plane displacements or strains are reviewed. The application would be for the high temperature, approximately 1430 C (2600 F), tensile testing of ceramic composites in an oxidizing atmosphere ...
