On the Ion Line Calibration by Plasma Line in ISR Measurements

Xinan Yue et al.

Summary: In this study, ion line calibration was conducted based on experiments with the newly built SYISR. The calibration factor was obtained by simultaneous measurements of plasma line and ion line electron density, and it significantly improved the agreement between ion line f(o)F(2) and ionosonde results. The deviations after calibration might be caused by uncertainties in the calibration factor or ionosonde measurements. The plasma line calibration technique is expected to be enhanced with the upcoming completion of the SYISR Tristatic System.

Initial Ionospheric Ion Line Results and Evaluation by Sanya Incoherent Scatter Radar (SYISR)

Honglian Hao et al.

Summary: A new incoherent scatter radar (SYISR) has been established in Sanya, China, which can detect low-latitude ionospheric plasma by conducting continuous operation and electronic beam steering. The observations from SYISR are compared with international reference ionosphere model and other measurements, showing good consistency and providing important information for studying atmosphere-ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling and ionospheric scintillation at low latitudes in East Asia.
