Scientific paper

The HF heating facility of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), located near Gakona, Alaska, generates ELF (300 Hz - 3 kHz) waves via modulated HF (2.7-10 MHz) heating of the auroral electrojet. Using two ELF/VLF receivers at ~700 km from HAARP, the orientation of the equivalent ELF radiating ionospheric dipole is inferred from the relative strength and Earth-ionosphere waveguide modal content of signals received. In several cases analyzed the effective HAARP electric dipole orientation is generally along magnetic east-west direction. A new metric is introduced to evaluate the validity of the determination of source characteristics with medium and long-range ELF/VLF measurements. Results are put into context of the auroral electrojet, indicating the possibility of studying small-scale electrojet structure not observable with magnetometers.
