Description
A vertically-propagating radio wave reflects at the height where its frequency matches the local plasma frequency, which is determined by the electron density. It can be used for an investigation of infrasound, acoustic gravity waves (AGWs), geomagnetic fluctuations etc.
Operational Modes
-
Active sounding
sounding- Description
- The continuous Doppler sounding is based on the measurement of Doppler shift, which experience the radio waves that reflect from the ionosphere.
