    • 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 ...

    • Ducting of incoherent scatter radar waves by field-aligned irregularities 

      Rietveld, Michael T; Senior, Andrew (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-22)
      We provide an explanation for a mysterious phenomenon that has been recognized in recent years in European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) UHF incoherent scatter radar (ISR) measurements during many high-power high-frequency (HF) ionospheric pumping experiments. The phenomenon is an apparent increase in electron density observed above the HF reflection altitude, extending up to the observable limits ...

    • 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 ...

    • First observation of the anomalous electric field in the topside ionosphere by ionospheric modification over EISCAT 

      Kosch, Michael; Vickers, Hannah; Ogawa, Yasunobu; Senior, Andrew; Blagoveshchenskaya, Natalya (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-10-24)
      We have developed an active ground-based technique to estimate the steady state field-aligned anomalous electric field (E*) in the topside ionosphere, up to ~600 km, using the European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) ionospheric modification facility and UHF incoherent scatter radar. When pumping the ionosphere with high-power high-frequency radio waves, the F region electron temperature is significantly ...

    • New capabilities of the upgraded EISCAT high-power HF facility 

      Rietveld, Michael T; Senior, Andrew; Markkanen, Jussi; Westman, Assar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-22)
      The high-power HF (high-frequency) facility (commonly known as Heating) near Tromsø, Norway, which is an essential part of the European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association, has been upgraded in certain key areas in recent years. It is one of only four similar facilities in the world operating at present. An updated description of the facility is given, together with scientific motivation and ...

    • Stimulated Brillouin scattering during electron gyro-harmonic heating at EISCAT 

      Fu, Haiyang; Scales, Wayne A.; Bernhardt, Paul A.; Briczinski, Stan J.; Kosch, Michael J.; Senior, Andrew; Rietveld, Michael T; Yeoman, Timothy Kenneth; Ruohoniemi, J. Michael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-11)
      Observations of secondary radiation, stimulated electromagnetic emission (SEE), produced during ionospheric modification experiments using ground-based, high-power, high-frequency (HF) radio waves are considered. The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility is capable of generating narrowband SEE in the form of stimulated Brillouin scatter (SBS) and stimulated ion Bernstein ...
