Striation Model and Spectral Characteristics of Optical-IR Emission from HANE (High Altitude Nuclear Event)

摘要

An analytical model of a late time high altitude ionospheric striation is presented which incorporates characteristic shapes from recent simulations. The model striation is nonaxisymmetric with a long diffuse tail (frontside), a compact core, and a steep backside. It contains six adjustable parameters to vary the shape and edge properties for sensitivity studies. Model parameters and the power spectral density (PSD) as observed from different view angles. Compare results of the model with Chesnut's PSD obtained from photographs of Checkmate. A good fit is obtained with our model without any size distribution of striations.
