Description

The research possibilities of the BIZON facility as diagnostic means by the oblique backscatter method for analysis of processes in the ionospheric plasma during its drastic variations caused by geomagnetic disturbances are described. The studied object is the subauroral ionosphere located above northern regions of Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia. It is shown that the oblique backscatter method provides observers with useful information about the ionosphere simultaneously from areas of great sizes. (author)
