• A comparison of overshoot modelling with observations of polar mesospheric summer echoes at radar frequencies of 56 and 224 MHz 

      Havnes, Ove; Pinedo Nava, Henry; La Hoz, Cesar; Senior, Andrew; Hartquist, Thomas W.; Rietveld, Michael T; Kosch, Michael J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      We have compared radar observations of polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSEs) modulated by artificial electron heating, at frequencies of 224 MHz (EISCAT VHF) and 56 MHz (MORRO). We have concentrated on 1 day of observation, lasting ~ 3.8 h. The MORRO radar, with its much wider beam, observes one or more PMSE layers all the time while the VHF radar observes PMSEs in 69% of the time. Statistically ...
    • First modulation of high-frequency polar mesospheric summer echoes by radio heating of the ionosphere 

      Senior, Andrew; Mahmoudian, Alireza; Pinedo Nava, Henry; La Hoz, Cesar; Rietveld, Michael T; Scales, Wayne A.; Kosch, M.J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-07-23)
      The first high-frequency (HF, 8 MHz) observations of the modulation of polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE) by artificial radio heating of the ionosphere are presented and compared to observations at 224 MHz and model predictions. The experiments were performed at the European Incoherent Scatter facility in northern Norway. It is shown that model results are in qualitative and partial quantitative ...

      During the PHOCUS rocket campaign, on 20-22 July 2011, the observations of polar mesosphere summer echoes (PMSE) were made by three mesosphere-stratosphere-troposphere radars, operating at about 50 MHz. One radar, ESRAD is located at Esrange in Sweden, where the rocket was launched, two other radars, MAARSY and MORRO, are located 250 km north-west and 200 km north of ESRAD, respectively, on the other ...
