A General Computer Programme on the Analysis of Moving Patterns in Geophysics

摘要

A general computer program is described and presented, to study the moving diffraction patterns in geophysics - namely, the patterns caused by (i) the reflection/partial reflection/scattering of radio waves from ionized layers/sharp gradients in ionization/irregularities in solar wind. The highlights of the program are (1) it provides all the well known methods--the time delay method, the full correlation method and the cross-spectral method in a single program, and (2) the inputs are the three spaced receiver amplitude data series or the auto and cross correlation functions and the coordinates of the three receivers.
