Scientific paper

By means of the multistatic capabilities of incoherent scatter radar, plasma line frequencies were simultaneously measured at two receiving stations at an altitude corresponding to the F layer maximum. Two data analysis procedures are derived and applied to the plasma line frequency differences arising from the different effective incident and scattered wave vectors appearing in the thermal term of the plasma dispersion relation. Comparison of this measured frequency difference to that calculated using the ion component electron temperature demonstrates that the plasma lines can be used to determine electron temperature. A strong dependence of the power in the plasma line as a function of the angle between the wave vector and the magnetic field is held to be in agreement with the theory.
