Session Title:
NEW TECHNIQUES FOR ACTIVE IONOSPHERE EXPERIMENTS

Section:
SPA-Aeronomy

Session description:
Understanding the dynamics of plasma interactions in the ionosphere has proven to be particularly challenging.  Experiments that artificially modify the ionosphere have been conducted in recent years in an effort to understand the formation and evolution of plasma irregularities that are important for applications including HF radar mapping of plasma convection and can impact services such as GPS navigation.  Ionospheric modification experiments use high-power HF radio waves, chemical releases from sounding rockets, or particle beams emitted from satellites to induce upper atmosphere phenomena that are observed only sporadically in the natural ionosphere, if at all. The three general active experiment techniques generate effects including artificial aurora or airglow, form enhanced plasma and ion lines observed with radar, induce scintillations, create artificial plasma layers, or create plasma density irregularities.  This session will present recent results and explore new techniques for future experiments and campaigns to advance the state of the art.
