Modification of the high latitude ionosphere F region by X-mode powerful HF radio waves: Experimental results from multi-instrument diagnostics
We present experimental results concentrating on a variety of phenomena in the high latitude ionosphere F2 layer induced by an extraordinary (X-mode) HF pump wave at high heater frequencies (f[Subscript: H]=6.2–8.0 MHz), depending on the pump frequency proximity to the ordinary and extraordinary mod...

We present experimental results concentrating on a variety of phenomena in the high latitude ionosphere F2 layer induced by an extraordinary (X-mode) HF pump wave at high heater frequencies (f[Subscript: H]=6.2–8.0 MHz), depending on the pump frequency proximity to the ordinary and extraordinary mode critical frequencies, foF2 and fxF2. The experiments were carried out at the EISCAT HF heating facility with an effective radiated power of 450–650 MW in October 2012 and October–November 2013. Their distinctive feature is a wide diapason of critical frequency changes, when the f[Subscript: H]/foF2 ratio was varied through a wide range from 0.9 to 1.35. It provides both a proper comparison of X-mode HF-induced phenomena excited under different ratios of f[Subscript: H]/foF2 and an estimation of the frequency range above foF2 in which such X-mode phenomena are still possible. It was shown that the HF-enhanced ion and plasma lines are excited above foF2 when the HF pump frequency is lying in range between the foF2 and fxF2, foF2≤f[Subscript: H]≤fxF2, whereas small-scale field-aligned irregularities continued to be generated even when f[Subscript: H] exceeded fxF2 by up to 1 MHz and an X-polarized pump wave cannot be reflected from the ionosphere.
