Ionospheric Oblique Incidence Soundings by Satellites

Entry ID: gov.noaa.ngdc.G00563

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: ABSTRACT: The oblique incidence sweep-frequency ionospheric sounding technique uses the same principle of operation as the vertical incidence sounder. The primary difference is that the transmitter and receiver are located at different places so that the signal is reflected at an angle. The most common use of these sounders is to operationally investigate optimum conditions for radio propagation. ...

Purpose: PURPOSE: Investigate optimum conditions for radio propagation
