Incoherent scatter spectral bandwidth and its applications

摘要: [1] We derive an analytical expression of equivalent incoherent scatter spectral bandwidth and discuss its practical interpretative usefulness at different altitude ranges. In the region above 120 km, where collision can be neglected, is a simple function electron ion temperature, mass, composition. collision-dominated D region, used to conveniently assess effect negative ions. As example illustrate bandwidth, we also present nighttime E temperature measurement, which has not been reported previously for middle low latitudes.
