Radio-induced incoherent scatter ion line enhancements with wide altitude extents in the high-latitude ionosphere
[1] Apparent large electron density enhancements deduced from incoherent scatter radar observations during recent high power radio wave injection experiments at the European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association (EISCAT) facility near Tromsø, Norway have been previously reported. These apparent...
