Nv. Bakhmeteva et al., STUDIES OF THE IONOSPHERE AND NEUTRAL ATMOSPHERE USING ARTIFICIAL PERIODIC INHOMOGENEITIES IN THE IONOSPHERIC PLASMA, Radio science, 33(3), 1998, pp. 583-594
This paper is devoted to a ground-based method for diagnostics of the
ionosphere and neutral atmosphere. This method uses one of the numerou
s physical phenomena observed in the ionosphere illuminated by a high-
power radio wave, namely, the generation of artificial periodic inhomo
geneities. New results on the ionospheric and atmospheric parameter me
asurements at E region heights are given.
