Complexity in the high latitude HF radar spectral width boundary region

Abstract: Abstract. SuperDARN radars are sensitive to the collective Doppler characteristics of decametre-scale irregularities in the high latitude ionosphere. The radars routinely observe a distinct transition from large spectral width (>100 m s −1 ) located at higher latitudes to low spectral width (<50 m s −1 ) located at lower latitudes. Because of its equatorward location, the TIGER Tasmanian radar is very sensitive to the detection of the spectral width boundary (SWB) in the nightside auroral ionosphere. An analys… Show more

“…The velocities were analysed separately for Population A echoes with low spectral width (<75 m s −1 ), and Population B echoes with high spectral width (>150 m s −1 ). Population A echoes are concentrated on closed field lines and Population B echoes on open fields, but there is no consensus about the physical meaning of the SuperDARN spectral widths (Parkinson et al, 2008). The velocities were also analysed using separate 2-h bins in MLT, but too few samples were available for accurate calculations in some MLT sectors.…”
