The influence of non-isothermal electrons and neutral wind structures on the doppler properties of vertical m-size field-aligned irregularities in the low latitude E-region

Abstract: ABSTRACT.Meter size irregularities are routinely studied with radars in the equatorial and low latitude regions. In both instances echoes from the E-region (90 to 120 km altitude) are a common occurrence. The resulting echoes are labeled as so-called Type I or Type II according to their spectral signature. In this paper we show that the phase velocity of Type I echoes increases with decreasing altitude owing to thermal feedback effects taking place in the growth process. We also show that Type II echoes can be… Show more
