Scientific paper

Helwan University and the Applied Research Laboratories at the University of Texas have collaborated to field the Ionospheric Tomography Network of Egypt (ITNE). ITNE consists of 3 UHF/VHF beacon receivers across Egypt. The first of these receivers was placed in Helwan, Egypt. It frequently observes a peak in ΔTEC/Δt measurements where the F-region intercept of the radio rays crosses the southern edge of the Anatolian Plateau. This feature was observed repeatedly in passes over Anatolia during the summer of 2008. The ΔTEC/Δt peaks occur where the 300 km intercept passes over the edge. Visually the ΔTEC/Δt peaks are correlated with steep surface topography gradients. These correlations suggest that the local ionosphere is affected by the ground topography, possibly through the upward propagation of mountain-generated gravity waves.
