Propagation and dispersion of electrostatic waves in the ionospheric E region

Blog Article

Low-frequency electrostatic fluctuations in the ionospheric E region were detected by instruments on the ROSE rockets.The phase velocity Walking Boots and dispersion of plasma waves in the ionospheric E region are determined by band-pass filtering and cross-correlating data of the electric-field fluctuations detected by the probes on the ROSE F4 rocket.The results were confirmed by a different method of analysis of the same data.

The results show that the waves propagate in the Hall-current direction with a velocity somewhat below the ion sound speed obtained for ionospheric conditions during the flight.It is also found that the waves are dispersive, with the 6 Piece King Poster Bedroom longest wavelengths propagating with the lowest velocity.
