Scientific paper

This paper presents initial results from the first comprehensively instrumented rocket flown through a Farley-unstable polar cap E-region. Ground-based ionosondes and magnetometers at two locations and HF radar backscatter at the launch site were used to determine the presence of a geographically widespread ionospheric plasma instability. The observed wave direction, electric field, and current density fit the predictions of the linear theory of the Farley instability, whereas the gradient-drift instability seems to be excluded by the geometry of the observations.
