Conductivity ratio effects on the drift and deformation of F-region barium clouds coupled to the E-region ionosphere

  • 1. Science Applications, Inc., McLean, VA

Description

The nonlinear motion of an F region barium release electrostatically coupled to the E region ionosphere is studied by numerical simulation. The effect of varying the ratio of the height-integrated Pedersen conductivity of the barium cloud (Σpb) to that of the background ionosphere (Σpi) and the formation of striations are discussed.
