Scientific paper

In late October of 2007 an instrumented sounding rocket was launched into a mid-latitude spread F (MSF) condition over Wallops Island. The MSF event occurred several hours after an abrupt increase in the Kp magnetic activity index. The rocket experiment measured the plasma density, electric field, and horizontal neutral wind as it traversed a region of the ionosphere that simultaneously produced spread-F signatures on the Wallops Island digisonde system. Prior to and during the rocket flight the ionospheric medium was continually under observation by a second vertical incidence radar system, a TID-detection radar, scintillation receivers, and the east coast GPS receiver network. This presentation will provide an overview of the complete experiment, followed by detailed rocket results. Several competing theories of mid-latitude spread F development will be quantitatively compared to the rocket measurements to determine which are consistent with the observations.
