Doppler measurements with a digital ionosonde: Technique and comparison of results with incoherent scatter data
(American Geophysical Union, 1982-09)
A simple technique for measuring the amplitude and Doppler shift of vertically reflected HF echoes has been implemented for the Arecibo digital ionosonde. This technique can easily be adapted to other digital ionosondes ...
Characterization of the convective boundary layer through a combination of large-eddy simulations and a radar simulator
(University of Oklahoma, 2011)
The boundary layer (BL) is the lowest part of the atmosphere where the flow field is directly influenced by interactions among air, heat, and the Earths surface. The structure of flow in the BL is dynamic due to the fact ...

Equatorial F region vertical plasma drifts during solar maxima
(American Geophysical Union, 1989-09-01)
Incoherent scatter radar measurements at Jicamarca are used to study the effects of large solar fluxes and magnetic activity on the F region vertical plasma drifts. The average drifts from the two last solar maxima are ...
Preliminary comparisons of VHF radar maps of F-region irregularities with scintillations in the equatorial region
(Elsevier, 1977-09)
Multiantenna 50 MHz radar backscatter maps of echo power from night-time F-region equatorial irregularities obtained at Jicamarca, Peru were compared with simultaneous VHF scintillation observations from Huancayo at 137 ...
Sources of variability in equatorial topside ionospheric and plasmaspheric temperatures
(Elsevier, 2013-01-17)
Jicamarca measurements of electron temperatures at high altitudes (500–1500 km) from the last solar minimum routinely show variations of hundreds of Kelvin from day-to-day. Possible sources of these variations are explored ...
Inferring E region electron density profiles at Jicamarca from Faraday rotation of coherent scatter
(American Geophysical Union, 2001-12-01)
A new technique for measuring E region plasma density profiles in the equatorial electrojet using a bistatic coherent scatter radar is described. The technique utilizes the Faraday rotation of the obliquely and coherently ...
Gravity wave initiation of equatorial Spread F: A case study
(American Geophysical Union, 1981-10-01)
Jicamarca radar backscatter maps were made during four consecutive nights in March 1979. Two of these maps displayed single towering plumes extending to nearly 1000-km altitude. On a third night, discussed in detail here, ...
Meteor-head echo observations using an antenna compression approach with the 450 MHz Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar
(Elsevier, 2009-05)
In this work we present a novel use of the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) to study meteor-head echoes with wide (W) beams. Until now, most of the meteor-head echo studies have been performed with High-Power ...
