Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, Miami University, Computational Science and Engineering.
Incoherent scatter radar (ISR) is a versatile tool to study the ionosphere by measuring the autocorrelation function (ACF). Accurate ACF in the E-region is difficult to obtain because the relative short range limits the length of a pulse. The short correlation time of the ionosphere renders the correlation using the pulse-to-pulse technique useless. In the thesis, we study a method that combines intra-pulse and inter-pulse techniques and apply it to the data taken at Arecibo Observatory. We show simultaneously measured ACF’s at short and long lags and summarize the merits of ACF. Applications of ACF and its advantages are discussed. The technique used here will make the derivation of ionosphere parameters more accurate.
