First EISCAT measurement of electron-gas temperature in the artificially heated D-region ionosphere

The ionospheric electron gas can be heated artificially by a powerful radio wave. According to our modeling, the maximum effect of this heating occurs in the D-region where the electron temperature can increase by a factor of ten. Ionospheric plasma parameters such as <i>N<sub>e</s...
