Scientific paper

During disturbed periods the incoherent scatter spectra obtained from the Chatanika radar, located in the auroral zone, are asymmetric, showing evidence of nonequilibrium distributions of ion velocities. Model calculations using a simple relaxation model for ion-neutral collisions in the presence of a strong electric field reproduce the qualitative features of the observed return spectra.
