[2439] Ionosphere / Ionospheric Irregularities

Scientific paper

Ionospheric radio occultation (RO) and in-situ measurements of plasma density fluctuations provide two different approaches for inferring the presence or absence of ionospheric scintillation. The RO technique involves a direct measure of scintillation at L-band frequencies, but in a limb-viewing geometry that entails some uncertainty regarding the precise geolocation of the associated irregularity region or regions. Scintillation over a range of frequencies from UHF to L-band can be inferred from observation of the in-situ irregularity spectrum together with a set of modeling assumptions. The CORISS (C/NOFS Occultation Receiver for Ionospheric Sensing and Specification) and PLP (Planar Langmuir Probe) instruments on board the C/NOFS satellite provide a means to compare and contrast the two approaches in a rigorous manner. This presentation with report initial comparison results based on data collected during the 2008-2010 time frame.
