Journal ArticleDOI
Incoherent scatter radar observations of westward electric fields and plasma densities in the auroral ionosphere, 1
TL;DR: In this article, the results of incoherent scatter radar observations of high-altitude ion drifts and other plasma parameters made February 24, 1972, at Chatanika, Alaska (L = 5.7), during a period of magnetic disturbance were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of interplanetary magnetic field and of ionospheric plasma convection in the vicinity of the dayside polar cleft
C. R. Clauer,Peter M. Banks,A. Q. Smith,T. S. Jorgensen,E. Friis-Christensen,S. Vennerstrom,Vincent B Wickwar,J. D. Kelly,J. Doupnik +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of experiments using the Sondrestrom radar together with ancillary observations of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) by the IMP-8 spacecraft were performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of convection electric fields on thermal proton outflow from the ionosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the continuity, momentum and energy hydrodynamic equations for an O(+)-H(+) ionosphere have been solved self-consistently for steady state conditions when a perpendicular (convection) electric field is present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observations of neutral winds in the auroral E region during the magnetospheric storm of August 3–9, 1972
TL;DR: Auroral zone E-region neutral winds have been derived from simultaneous measurements of ion drift velocities in different altitudes by the incoherent radar facility at Chatanika, Alaska, on a quiet day before and during the great magnetospheric storm of Aug. 3-9, 1972.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waves generated during electron beam emissions from the space shuttle
Torsten Neubert,W. W. L. Taylor,L. R. O. Storey,Nobuki Kawashima,W. T. Roberts,D. L. Reasoner,Peter M. Banks,D. A. Gurnett,R. L. Williams,James L. Burch +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, observations from the SEPAC (Space Experiments with Particle Accelerators) experiment on Spacelab 1 Shuttle mission of waves generated during electron beam emissions are presented.
