Study of Ionospheric Plasma Turbulence Caused by Powerful Ground-Based HF Radio Transmissions

极高功率的无线电波与 高海拔的电离层等离子体产生湍流， 可能对信号产生重要影响的不规则性 通过媒体和无线电传播 通信 该计划定义了一个彻底的实验 和朗缪尔湍流的理论研究， 来自低于F2穿透频率的传输 层.分析和公布过去的结果以及新的 从波多黎各阿雷西博的加热设施进行的观测 都计划好了

The interaction of very high power radio waves with the ionospheric plasma at high altitudes produces turbulence and irregularities that could have important consequences on signal transmission through the medium as well as on radio communication. This program defines a thorough experimental and theoretical investigation of Langmuir turbulence resulting from transmissions below the penetration frequency of the F2 layer. Analysis and publication of past results as well as new observations from the heating facility at Arecibo, Puerto Rico are planned.
