摘要: The SEEK (Sporadic-E Experiment over Kyushu) campaign was conducted in late August 1996 from the southern region of Kyushu, Japan, to investigate mechanism for generation quasi-periodic (QP) radar backscatter field-aligned irregularities imbedded nighttime sporadic-E (Es) layers. designed determine in-situ small-scale electrodynamical properties using two sounding rockets and large-scale dynamics electrodynamics ground-based sensors, which included a transportable other radio optical instruments deployed vicinity rocket range. It observed by this that Es layers existed convergent wind shear region, where large electric fields were induced when active atmospheric gravity waves mesosphere. However, there little evidence positively supported hypothesis deeply modulated altitude.
