Advances in software for analysis of Kharkiv incoherent scatter radar data

摘要

The paper presents methods used for Kharkiv incoherent scatter radar data processing and analysis. These methods formed the basis for the developed software package UPRISE. Noise removing, altitudinal correction, as well as plasma temperature, ion composition, and velocity estimation are described. UPRISE package allowed obtaining a number of qualitatively new unique geophysical results based on data acquired by the Kharkiv incoherent scatter radar.
