Abstract

The results of long-term studies of the effects of the high-latitude ionosphere modification by powerful high-frequency (HF) radio waves generated by the EISCAT/Heating facility based on remote diagnostic methods are presented. The brief description of remote diagnostic instruments and methods is given. The excitation conditions and characteristics of small-scale artificial field-aligned irregularities induced by the O- and X-mode HF pumping are considered using the bi-static scatter method. The results of the spectral analysis of HF heater signals under various radiation modes are provided. It is shown that the X-mode HF pumping induces narrowband artificial radio emission of the ionosphere recorded at a distance of more than 1000 km from the heater.
