• The effect of electron bite-outs on artificial electron heating and the PMSE overshoot. 

      Belova, E.; Kassa, M.; Havnes, O. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2005-12-23)
      We have considered the effect that a local reduction in the electron density (an electron bite-out), caused by electron absorption on to dust particles, can have on the artificial electron heating in the height region between 80 to 90 km, where noctilucent clouds (NLC) and the radar phenomenon PMSE (Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes) are observed. With an electron density profile without ...
    • Infrasound - the cause of strong Polar Mesosphere Winter Echoes? 

      Rietveld, Michael T.; Kirkwood, S.; Chilson, P.; Belova, E.; Häggström, I.; Singer, W.; Dalin, P. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2006-03-23)
      The ESRAD 52-MHz and the EISCAT 224-MHz radars in northern Scandinavia observed thin layers of strongly enhanced radar echoes from the mesosphere (Polar Mesosphere Winter Echoes - PMWE) during a solar proton event in November 2004. Using the interferometric capabilities of ESRAD it was found that the scatterers responsible for PMWE show very high horizontal travel speeds, up to 500 ms-1 or more, and ...
