Recent Incoherent Scatter Research

雷达波探测电离层的非相干散射技术揭示了电离层中离子和电子的温度、组成和运动等方面的大量信息，并间接提供了100千米以上高度中性能量学和动力学方面的大量信息。将于1988年7月在赫尔辛基举行的外空研究委员会会议上举行一次关于非相干散射雷达研究的科学会议，由从事这项技术工作的一批杰出的国际科学家进行审查。Ganguly博士被要求组织和召集会议并编辑会议记录，这笔拨款为他的工作提供了支持。

The technique of incoherent scatter of radar waves to probe the ionosphere has revealed a wealth of information concerning the temperature, composition and motions of the ions and electrons, and indirectly has provided much information on the neutral energetics and dynamics at heights above 100 km. A scientific session is to be held at the COSPAR meeting in Helsinki in July, 1988, on the subject of Incoherent Scatter Radar Research, with reviews by a distinguished set of international scientists who have worked with the technique. Dr. Ganguly has been asked to organize it and convene the meeting and edit the proceedings, and this grant provides support for him to do so.
