Propagation of High-Frequency Radio Waves in the Presence of a Strong Local Ionospheric Disturbance

摘要

On the basis of a numerically constructed electromagnetic-wave ray trajectories, the basic characteristics of propagation of high-frequency (1-10-GHz) radio waves in the presence of a strong local disturbance in the Earth's ionosphere have been obtained. As an example of such disturbance, a simplified regular model of the region of the increased ionization of the atmosphere caused by a short-term release of a significant amount of radiant energy at altitudes of more than 10 km above the Earth's surface has been developed.
