Scientific paper

Several aspects concerning the phenomenology of barium cloud striations still lack a satisfactory explanation. The motivation for the present investigation was an unexplained phenomenon known as 'freezing'. For the purposes of the current study, the term 'freezing' is defined to mean the cessation of bifurcation on the part of a specific ionospheric structure. A description is provided of a mechanism whereby the barium ions, and the local electron density enhancement which they represent, may cease bifurcating. It is attempted to show that the Pedersen leakage mechanism is a viable candidate for the cessation of further bifurcation in barium clouds. In addition, it is found that this mechanism can produce sheets of barium at late times.
