Summary: | Studies of the auroral ionosphere by incoherent-scatter radar have continued, with further observations of the fine structure of the F-region and with detailed analyses of data so obtained during the last three years. It has been demonstrated that irregular structures with scale sizes measured in kilometers can on occassion be detected by the EISCAT UHF radar to altitudes of at least 750 km, and first results on the magnitude, time structure, and velocity of these structures are presented. Keywords include: Incoherent scatter radar; Auroral zone; Ionospheric F-region; and Small-scale plasma irregularities. |
