Scientific paper

The aspect sensitivity of phase scintillation is used to identify the dominant three-dimensional configuration of sheetlike electron density irregularities aligned along L shells in the auroral zone ionosphere, for the cases of four latitude/time zones: (1) equatorward of the high-latitude scintillation boundary on the nightside of the earth; (2) poleward of the nightside boundary; (3) equatorward of the boundary on the dayside; and (4) poleward of the dayside boundary. Sheetlike irregularities are found to be confined to region 2, with the dominant configuration in other zones being that of axially symmetric, rodlike irregularities aligned along the magnetic field.
