Abstract

LOIS tripole radio systems will be used together with incoherent scatter radar and optics for studies of artificial and natural ionospheric turbulence. Tripole units will initially be tested in collaboration with the EISCAT facilities and a Dartmouth radio system located near Tromso, Norway, then deployed near both the EISCAT Tromso and EISCAT Svalbard radars for short-term observations during radiowave pumping experiments and for studies of natural emissions in a longer-term search for simultaneous naturally-enhanced ion-acoustic and Langmuir waves and radio emissions. Studies of radiowave-pumped turbulence will be performed in Puerto Rico in cooperation with the Arecibo Observatory, and observations are anticipated in Alaska in cooperation with HAARP, HIPAS, the Poker Flat ISR (PFISR), and Dartmouth
