摘要: Abstract The ‘Kinesonde’ multifrequency complex-amplitude spaced-antenna system was collocated with the incoherent scatter of CNET at St. Santin de Maurs (France) over period May–August 1970. Measurements 3-dimensional drifts by spaced-antenna, spaced-frequency technique, analyzed a statistically-rigorous form correlation analysis, are compared ion drift velocity along magnetic field direction measured scatter. These comparisons extend height range 92–400 km. Kinesonde measurements agree field-aligned projection neutral wind, which above 150 km is deduced from allowing for effects plasma diffusion. vertical component observed always significant, and it doubtful that conventional 2-dimensional experiment can be considered informative F -region.
