项目摘要

Ionospheric irregularities in the mid-latitude E-region has been a study topics for more than ten years. The epoch was the discovery of the quasi-periodic (QP) structure in the E-region FAI (Field-Aligned Irregularity) echoes observed with the MU radar in Japan. The QP structures appear in the E-region FAI as a reflection of modulation pattern in the Sporadic-E (Es) layers. The structures are associated with polarization electric field, which suggests strong coupling process between the ionized and neutral atmosphere. In August 2002, we conducted SEEK-2 (Sporadic-E Experiment over Kyushu 2) campaign in Japan under collaboration with scientists from Japan, USA and Taiwan. The SEEK-2 consists of two sounding rockets of Institute of Space and Aeronautical Sciences that include in-situ experiment of electron density, electron temperature, electric field, plasma fluctuation and waves, and geomagnetic field as before. This research program is mainly dedicated to conduct the SEEK-2 ground-based observations. We operated two radars of 24.5 MHz and 31.6 MHz, ionosonde network of Japan, an MF radar, several airglow imagers, and a GPS scintillation-receiver system. We observed intense QP echoes with radars after 23 LT (= UT + 9 hours) on August 3, 2002, and launched rockets into the E-region at 2324 LT and 2339 LT. The operation of the SEEK-2 was very successful as we could, select a good event for the launches. All instruments on the rockets worked fine. We have found that the rockets detected multi-layered Es-layers at 103, 105 and 129 km altitudes, and intense electric fields that approach +-10 mV/m. In March 2003, we hosted the SEEK-2 workshop for data comparison and analysis. From this observation program we published more than 30 papers in the international journals. Numbers of oral presentations from the SEEK-2 results were 21 in international conferences, and 54 in domestic meetings.

中纬度e区电离层不规则性的研究已有十多年的历史。这个时代是在日本的MU雷达观测到的e区FAI（场向不规则）回波中发现了准周期（QP）结构。QP结构出现在e区FAI中，作为散射e （Es）层调制模式的反映。这些结构与极化电场有关，表明电离大气与中性大气之间存在强耦合过程。2002年8月，我们与日本、美国和台湾的科学家合作，在日本进行了SEEK-2 （sporadical - e Experiment over Kyushu 2）活动。SEEK-2由空间航空科学研究所的两枚探空火箭组成，与以前一样进行了电子密度、电子温度、电场、等离子体波动和波、地磁场的原位实验。该研究项目主要致力于进行SEEK-2地基观测。我们操作了两台24.5 MHz和31.6 MHz的雷达，日本的离子探空仪网络，一台中频雷达，几台气辉成像仪和一个GPS闪烁接收器系统。2002年8月3日，我们在23 LT （= UT + 9 h）后用雷达观测到强烈的QP回波，并在23 LT和23 LT分别向e -区域发射了火箭。火箭上的所有仪器都工作正常。我们发现，火箭在103、105和129公里的高度探测到多层es层，以及接近+-10 mV/m的强电场。2003年3月，我们举办了SEEK-2研讨会，进行数据比较和分析。通过这个观察项目，我们在国际期刊上发表了30多篇论文。SEEK-2结果的口头报告在国际会议上有21次，在国内会议上有54次。
