Features of modification of the earth’s ionosphere by high-power X-mode radio waves and the observed effects

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Available experimental results on the modification of the Earth’s ionosphere by high-power X-mode radio waves are reviewed. It is shown that the influence of such heating on the generation of artificial ionospheric turbulence is of complex nature and has different manifestations in various ionospheric regions and under different experimental conditions. The mechanisms of generation of the plasma disturbances under ionospheric heating by high-power X-mode radio waves, which have been proposed until recently, are discussed.
