Modification of the auroral E-region with powerful HF waves

Data from an ionospheric heating experiment in Tromsø have beenanalyzed. The experiment was carried out during auroral conditions inOctober 2006. Beside data from the EISCAT UHF radar also opticaldata were recorded with the ASK (auroral structure and kinetics) instrumentand enhancements of backscatt...
