The 'experiment of opportunity' to test incoherent scatter radar techniques for the diagnostic study of a chemically induced modification of the ionosphere occasioned by the launch of the HEAO-C satellite is described. The optimal utilization of a steerable incoherent scatter radar for a short duration event is examined. The choice of keeping the antenna fixed to obtain good control data and excellent time resolution along a given direction versus scanning the antenna to obtain mixed spatial and temporal morphologies is discussed. Results for fixed position measurements, elevation scans, ion-drift, and total electron content are presented. The first unambiguous observations of a gas expansion 'snowplow effect' is reported along with the derivation of local and height-integrated plasma recombination rates and the full spatial, temporal, and dynamical morphologies of a large-scale ionospheric hole.
