Operational details and first results of a program to |
|
study irregular electron density structure in the auroral |
|
F-region using the EISCAT incoherent-scatter radar are |
|
presented. Large amplitude, localised, electron density |
|
enhancements are observed in active, night-time |
|
conditions. Two types of large-scale enhancement are |
|
seen: one with large amplitudes in the E and lower F- |
|
region, with amplitudes decreasing rapidly with further |
|
increase in altitude, the other confined to the F-region |
|
with largest amplitudes on the topside. Evidence for |
|
intermediate scale structuring associated with |
|
precipitation, in some instances, and with probable |
|
formation by plasma instabilities in others, is also |
|
presented. (Author) |
