Subject All-sky radar interferometry data, ionosonde data, wind data
Publisher Xiukuan Zhao
Description The all-sky radar data obtained at Ledong with the pulse repetition frequency, range resolution, and sampled ranges are 430 Hz, 1.8 km, and 68.4-318.6 km, respectively, are used for neutral wind analysis and E region irregularities interferometry analysis. Through interferometry analysis the location for E region FAIs could be obtained. The variables named “ELE”, “AZI”, “ZON”, “MER” and “H” indicate the elevation angle, the azimuth angle and the location of radar backscatter echoes in the zonal, meridional and altitudinal coordinates, respectively. The critical frequency of Es (foEs) and the virtual height (h’Es) of Es are obtained from the ionosondes at Ledong, with temporal resolutions of 7.5 min. The ICON data are openly available on the ICON website (http://icon.ssl.berkeley.edu/Data). ICON's wind field data includes the parameters “Mer_UT,” “Mer_Alt”, “Mer_Vel”, “Zon_UT”, “Zon_Alt”, “Zon_Vel”. They represent the universal time, altitude and meridional/zonal wind speed, respectively. Radar's wind field data includes the parameters “UT”, “Alt, “MerVel”, “ZonVel”. They represent universal time, altitude and meridional/zonal wind speed, respectively.
