“…Such a correlation in the electron density and SNR is well known, e.g. Williams et al (1999). It can be clearly seen under the condition of strong plasma flow (Oksman et al, 1986;Nielsen et al, 1988), which is the case for the considered event.…”

“…According to the EISCAT measurements, the density profiles most of the time exhibited a broad maximum near 110-120 km. One notices the correlation between the STARE echo power increases (for both radars) and the electron density enhancements, a well-known effect at VHF (Starkov et Williams et al, 1999). Figure 4b shows the electron drift (opposite to plasma convection) magnitude and direction (solid line), as observed by EISCAT (the data were smoothed with a 5-point sliding window).…”

“…This model assumes that echoes are received from a range of electrojet heights and that the power of the signal from each height is determined by the local electron density, the true aspect angle (with the refraction taken into account), and the amplitude of the ionospheric irregularities (Oksman et al, 1986;Kustov et al, 1990;Williams et al, 1999). For strong electric fields of more than 30-40 mVm −1 , it is assumed that the irregularity amplitude is electric-field-independent, so that irregularity amplitude flow and aspect angle variations need only to be taken into account.…”
