Dust charging and density conditions deduced from observations of PMWE modulated by artificial electron heating
Havnes, Ove; La Hoz, Cesar; Rietveld, Michael T; Kassa, Meseret; Baroni, Giovanni; Biebricher, Alexander (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)We present an analysis of relatively strong Polar Mesospheric Winter Echoes (PMWE) under artificial electron heating that changes the PMWE intensity. A major purpose is to find reliable estimates of the relaxation time of the heater modified PMWE to their undisturbed state during the heater switch-off phase; the implications regarding charge/discharge mechanisms; and to exploit the diagnostic potential ... -
A new method of inferring the size, number density, and charge of mesospheric dust from its in situ collection by the DUSTY probe
Havnes, Ove; Antonsen, Tarjei; Baumgarten, Gerd; Hartquist, Thomas W.; Biebricher, Alexander; Fredriksen, Åshild; Friedrich, Martin; Hedin, Jonas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-15)<p>We present a new method of analyzing measurements of mesospheric dust made with DUSTY rocket-borne Faraday cup probes. It can yield the variation in fundamental dust parameters through a mesospheric cloud with an altitude resolution down to 10 cm or less if plasma probes give the plasma density variations with similar height resolution. A DUSTY probe was the first probe that unambiguously detected ...
