Ionospheric
Interactions Using HAARP
|
|
Description
|
| The
ionosphere can be stimulated by a radio frequency (RF) wave transmitted
by HAARP* to generate plasma waves, which will interact with the transmitted
RF wave and emit several electromagnetic (EM) waves of different frequency.
A high frequency (HF, ~5 MHz) receiver then measures these new EM waves.
The plasma waves, or instability in the ionosphere, produced by HAARP may
lead to artificial aurora. Further study of receiver data, together with
radar images of the instability, will lead to a better understanding of
the ionosphere and the mechanisms that cause the formation of natural aurora. |
