Scientific paper

Observations of energetic particle precipitation are considered along with ionospheric convection electric fields and optical auroral morphology, taking into account also the theoretical implications of these observations. An outline is provided of the chemistry related to the formation of ionospheric holes, and the concept of the experiment and the theoretical implications of the introduction of an artificial ionospheric hole over an auroral arc are discussed. The experiment involved the launch of a Nike Black Brant V rocket on a southerly azimuth from Churchill Research Range on April 6, 1980. The object of the experiment was to produce an ionospheric hole, or plasma density depletion, at about 300-km altitude on field lines connected to an auroral arc.
