On TID Observation program in the Auroral Zone

A future plan of TID observation at Syowa Station by means of the HF Doppler technique is proposed. The purpose of the observation is to locate the generation source of the medium-scale TID, and also to estimate the temperature of the neutral atmosphere at the ionospheric heights by observing the di...

Description
Summary:A future plan of TID observation at Syowa Station by means of the HF Doppler technique is proposed. The purpose of the observation is to locate the generation source of the medium-scale TID, and also to estimate the temperature of the neutral atmosphere at the ionospheric heights by observing the dispersion of the gravity waves. A network of observation stations (one receiving station (Syowa Station) and three transmitting stations), assuming the distance between paired stations to be 80 km to 300 km, is necessary to carry out the above purpose. The electric power at a station is expected to be supplied by the windmill generator.
