Abstract

We present results of preliminary studies aimed at detection of weak ionospheric disturbances induced by acoustic emission of a ground-based controlled transmitter. Radio astronomical and radiophysical facilities based on the decameter radio telescope URAN-3 were used in these experiments. Three methods were applied in this study: occultation of the disturbed region by radio emission from discrete cosmic sources, scattering of sounding radio waves from the perturbed ionospheric region, and weakly-oblique sounding of the ionosphere. It is shown that the parameters of transmitted, scattered, and reflected signals are well correlated with the parameters of the acoustic radiation, and that the weak ionospheric disturbances detected in our experiments are actually induced by the acoustic radiation.
