A nomographic computer is presented which graphically converts geographical coordinates and universal time into geomagnetic coordinates and geomagnetic local time in the Corrected Geomagnetic system of Hultqvist. The computer is formulated as a map of high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere on which the position of the auroral oval can be projected directly for any time of day, for any magnetic activity, with account being taken of seasonal variation of the geomagnetic local time coordinate. Instructions for its use, discussion of its accuracy, and examples of its application are given. (Author).

The orbiting HiLat satellite launched in 1983 offered an opportunity for studying ionospheric scintillation parameters in relation to in-situ measurements of ionization density, drift velocity, field-aligned current, and particle precipitation during the sunspot minimum period. This report discusses results of a morphological study based on observations of scintillations and total electron content (TEC) at the auroral oval station at Tromso, Norway, during the period Dec 1983 - Oct 1985. The geometrical enhancement of scintillations observed during alignment of the propagation with the local magnetic L-shell is shown to be the most consistent and conspicuous feature of scintillations in the nighttime auroral oval. The dynamics of the spatial and temporal extent of this region are illustrated in the invariant latitude/magnetic local time grid. Steepening of phase spectral slope in the geometrical enhancement region is indicative of the presence of L-shell aligned sheet-like irregularities at long scale lengths. The seasonal variation of TEC determined from the differential Doppler measurements of HiLat transmissions is discussed in relation to the in-situ density measurements at 830 km. The results are also used to illustrate the dependence of ionospheric structure parameters on short-term variability of solar activity during the sunspot minimum period. This study provides an insight into the nature of magnetospheric coupling with the ionosphere at high latitudes.

Satellite Density Measurements With The Rotatable Calibration Accelerometer Roca written by Frank A. Marcos and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1979 with Accelerometers categories.
Satellite accelerometer measurements of atmospheric density have provided significant improvement in our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the lower thermosphere. Derivation of accurate data with this technique requires removal of instrument bias from the total sensor output. The ROCA (Rotatable Calibration Accelerometer) experiment was flown to provide and orbital calibration capability on the three-axis stabilized S3-4 satellite. The ROCA sensitive axis could be operated in either of two orientations selectable by ground command. For density measurement (normal operating mode) the sensitive axis was aligned with the satellite velocity vector. For direct measurement of bias, the sensitive axis was aligned perpendicular to the velocity vector. Utilization of the inflight calibration technique showed a dependence of the bias upon the instrument operating temperature. Removal of the bias-temperature component from the total acceleration signal obtained in the normal operating mode permits derivation of accurate density data. Measurements of atmospheric density were obtained during approximately 600 orbits over a five month period. The resulting ROCA data will be utilized for improved satellite ephemeris computations and for detailed studies of the lower thermosphere, particularly those related to energy inputs at high latitudes.

Reilly and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1977 with Ionospheric radio wave propagation categories.
The Chapman-Davies-Littlewood technique for the computation of the equivalent path of an ionospherically propagated High Frequency (HF) radio signal was used to determine the most probable modes of oblique propagation and the corresponding frequency windows that existed during six experimental aircraft flights in the polar region. In comparison to these results, the Elkins-Rush HF Polar Predictive Model has been found to be inadequate for short-term propagation predictions. These oblique propagation measurements have verified Feldstein and Starkov's conclusion that the magnetic Index Q is a good indicator of the position, shape, and size of the Instantaneous Auroral Oval as they have defined it on the basis of ground-based optical measurements which they subjected to statistical analyses. An approach has been developed which sheds new light on the behavior of HF signals propagating via the polar ionosphere. On the basis of the results achieved using this approach, it is recommended that an attempt be made to develop a new method of predicting short-term polar region HF propagation conditions well in advance (that is, an hour or more in advance in real time). A hypothetical example of an application of such a method is given. Action should be taken soon to exploit this possibility. Additional work could extend the applicability of this approach beyond anything that has seemed feasible before. New understanding of the physics of the polar ionosphere could result. It is hoped that this report will stimulate the experimental and theoretical research that will result in this increased understanding of the polar ionosphere. (Author).

At Goose Bay, Labrador, 30-MHz riometers using a four-corner reflector antenna have been in operation since November 1971. An 18-MHz riometer using a zenith-pointing antenna has been operational since June 1972. A quiet day curve of 30 MHz has been constructed for the Goose Bay 30 MHz, and useful hours of operation for an 18-MHz riometer at this particular site are discussed. The usefulness of the four-corner reflector antenna over a single zenith-pointing antenna is discussed, in particular, in an auroral environment. Examples of data illustrating the performance of the antenna system are presented. The data selected are for the geomagnetically active period of mid-April to early May 1973. (Author).

Phase and amplitude scintillation measurements made at 244 MHz from Goose Bay using the geostationary satellite Fleetsat are presented. An extended dynamic range receiver with an extremely stable local oscillator measured the phase variations with the precision of a coherent system subject to certain limitations. The data were obtained for a 10-month period in 1979 during a high sunspot epoch to extend the limited temporal coverage of the orbiting Wideband satellite data. The report presents scintillation statistics in the manner required for communications system planning. The nighttime phase scintillations showed maximum occurrence during the spring and increased greatly in relation to the amplitude scintillations during times of significant magnetic activity. The increase of phase scintillations in relation to amplitude scintillations was attributed to an enhanced ionospheric drift during times of magnetic disturbances. The phase spectral index of the Fleetsat data was found to be larger than that determined from Wideband data. To further our understanding of auroral irregularity generation mechanisms, this report also presents a case study of energetic particle precipitation spectra, the topside thermal density response of such precipitation and the coordinated phase and amplitude perturbation spectra created by such an energy input into the ionosphere.
