Enhancement of VLF-ducts under the action of high power radio wave on the ionospheric F-region

Wave effects are discussed pointing to improvement of whistler propagation in the ionosphere illuminated by a powerful radio wave. The large scale irregularities (ducts) responsible for these effects are formed in the illuminated ionospheric region by the process of electron heating by the fields of...

Description
Summary:Wave effects are discussed pointing to improvement of whistler propagation in the ionosphere illuminated by a powerful radio wave. The large scale irregularities (ducts) responsible for these effects are formed in the illuminated ionospheric region by the process of electron heating by the fields of the pump wave and excited plasma oscillations. These irregularities may also be created in the ionosphere and plasmasphere by fluxes of suprathermal electrons accelerated by the plasma turbulence in the reflection region of the pump wave.
