The requirements of achieving ionospheric modification by ground-transmitted HF heating waves are discussed. The directly relevant processes including linear mode conversion and parametric instabilities are explained physically.

Book Description
Powerful, high-frequency radio waves have been used to temporarily modify the ionosphere. Thermal and parametric interactions have led to a diverse range of observed phenomena, including generation of density striations and artificial spread-F, enhancements of electron plasma waves, production of extrathermal electron fluxes and enhanced airglow, modification of the D-region temperature and densities, wideband signal attenuation, and self-focusing and scattering of the electromagnetic waves. The physics of ionospheric modification by high-power radio waves is reviewed in the context of our current theoretical understanding; disturbance generation mechanisms are qualitatively described. In addition, results of recent experiments are summarized in which ionospheric irregularities are generated and their evolution and decay processes investigated in detail. The effects and potential controlled applications of these HF ionospheric modifications for various RF systems studies are discussed. The C3I scientific community provides an important motivation for these ionospheric modification studies; their increased interaction and active participation in experimental design and interpretation are encouraged.

Historical Overview of HF Ionospheric Modification Research
Author: William E. Gordon
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 12
Book Description
Radio waves have inadvertently modified the Earth's ionosphere since the Luxembourg observations of Tellegen in 1933 and perhaps since Marconi in 1901. The history of ionospheric modification by radio waves is reviewed, beginning with Marconi, describing the Luxembourg effect and its explanations, and its early use to deduce the properties of the lower ionosphere in the 1930s. 'ne measurements became more sophisticated in the 1950s, leading to the call for high-power high-frequency modification experiments in the upper ionosphere. Beginning in 1970, radio facilities became available of sufficient powers to induce changes in the ionospheric plasma detectable by a wide array of diagnostic instruments and techniques. A summary of these effects is presented based upon work up to 1990. These studies were originally motivated as a means of better understanding the natural ionosphere using a weak perturbational approach. However, a rich spectrum of nonlinear wave-plasma interactions was quickly discovered and ionospheric modification research became strongly motivated by issues in basic plasma physics. The ionosphere and near-Earth space are now exploited as an exceptional plasma laboratory-without-walls for the study of fundamental plasma processes requiring large spatial or temporal scales. Here we present a brief overview of these processes and phenomena, illustrated using results obtained from the Arecibo ionospheric modification facilities. The lessons learned and phenomena explored thus far offer many opportunities for controlling the ionospheric environment critical to many civilian and military telecommunications systems, both to disrupt systems normally operational and to create new propagation paths otherwise unavailable.

Ionospheric Modification by Chemical Releases and High Power Radio Waves
Author: P. A. Bernhardt
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 15
Book Description
Ionospheric plasma density irregularities can be produced locally by chemical releases from space vehicles or remotely by a beam of high power radio waves transmitted from the ground. F-region plasma modification occurs by (1) chemically enhancing the electron number density, (2) chemically reducing the electron population, or (3) physically convecting the plasma from one region to another. The three processes (production, loss, and transport) can determine the effectiveness of ionospheric chemical releases and high frequency electromagnetic wave transmissions in subtle and surprising ways. Initially, a chemical release produces a localized change in plasma density and high power radio waves heat the electrons to yield enhanced transport from pressure gradients in the heated region. Subsequent processes, however, can lead to enhanced transport in chemically modified regions and modified reaction rates in the regions affected by high power radio waves.
