METHOD FOR MODIFYING PARAMETERS OF IONOSPHERIC PLASMA

摘要

FIELD: experiments in upper atmosphere. SUBSTANCE: high-frequency discharge is used to form artificial plasma in order to raise efficiency of impact on ionospheric current system in field of high-frequency source operating according to desired cyclogram; at the same time range of bursts of explosion devices is built up in HF discharge region according to working cyclogram of HF source. Conditions imposed on dimensions of burst region R₁R_bd_o and magnetic field freezing in plasma being satisfied, where R_b is radius of burst region; R₁ is characteristic cross size of ionospheric current jet; d_o is undisturbed size of artificial plasma formation (APF), energy input in APF is increased affording increase in dimensions, depth and speed of modulation of ionospheric plasma parameters. EFFECT: increased dimensions of modification range, depth and speed of APF modulation due to increased energy input in APF. 2 cl, 1 dwg
