      Huyghebaert, Devin Ray; Billett, Daniel; Chartier, Alex; Chau, Jorge L.; Hussey, Glenn C.; Hysell, David L.; Ivarsen, Magnus Fagernes; Mesquita, Rafael L. A.; Rojas, Enrique; Vierinen, Juha; Young, Matthew (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-15)
      The heating caused by ionospheric E-region plasma turbulence has documented global implications for the energy transfer from space into the terrestrial atmosphere. Traveling atmospheric disturbances, neutral wind motion, energy deposition rates, and ionospheric conductance have all been shown to be potentially affected by turbulent plasma heating. Therefore it is proposed to enhance and expand ...
    • On the theory of the incoherent scatter gyrolines 

      Hysell, David L.; Vierinen, Juha; Sulzer, M.P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-20)
      The incoherent scatter spectrum feature referred to as the “gyroline” is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The gyroline is associated with the dispersion relation for electrostatic whistler waves. Earlier treatments by Trulsen and Bj⊘rna (1978, and references therein) derive the frequency and growth rate for these waves, but their derivation is only accurate for very small magnetic ...
    • Solved and unsolved riddles about low-latitude daytime valley region plasma waves and 150-km echoes 

      Chau, Jorge Luis; Longley, William; Reyes, Pablo; Pedatella, Nick; Otsuka, Yuichi; Stolle, Claudia; Liu, Huixin; Vierinen, Juha; Milla, Marco; Hysell, David L.; Oppenheim, Meers; Patra, A.; Lehmacher, G; Kudeki, Erhan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-27)
      The Earth’s atmosphere near both the geographic and magnetic equators and at altitudes between 120 and 200 km is called the low-latitude valley region (LLVR) and is among the least understood regions of the ionosphere/thermosphere due to its complex interplay of neutral dynamics, electrodynamics, and photochemistry. Radar studies of the region have revealed puzzling daytime echoes scattered from ...
