Effects of Ionospheric Disturbances on High Latitude Radio Wave Propagation

  • Conference paper
Exploration of the Polar Upper Atmosphere

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 64))

Abstract

The effects of anomalous high latitude ionization upon radio wave propagation are described for the main types of disturbances: Sudden ionospheric disturbances, relativistic electron events, magnetic storms, auroral disturbances, and polar cap events. Examples of radio wave characteristics for such conditions are given for the frequencies between the extremely low (3–3000 Hz) and high (3–30 MHz) frequency domains.
