UHF and VHF data for the EISCAT incoherent scatter radar facility in northern Scandinavia is presented. Electron and ion temperatures, electron density, and ion drift velocity were measured from heights of 280 to 1500 km. Enhanced ion acoustic fluctuations are more observable with VHF than UHF radar due to wavelength effects. The fluctuations are usually associated with a large flux of precipitating electrons with energies from 100 ev to 10 kev. The spatial extent of the turbulent regions are determined. 23 refs., 6 figs.
