A VHF doppler auroral radar operating in the south of New Zealand since early 1978 has quite frequently observed long persisting echoes with large doppler shifts over a limited range interval. These are confined to dark hours, are primarily in the pr

A Fohn wind blowing off-shore produces super-refraction at radio frequencies. This results in the guiding of very high frequency radio waves beyond the horizon in a radio duct close to the sea surface. The problems involved and the experimental techn

This paper describes an approximate method for extending the simple mode theory of tropospheric refraction (Booker and Walkinshaw 1947) to cover situations where the refractive index profile varies with range The transmission path is divided into a n

H. G. Booker's (1956) theory of the radio aurora as a random assembly of field-aligned irregularities has been unsuccessful in explaining many observations, and this lack of success has led to the application of plasma instability theory to the pheno

It is now generally agreed that the maximum probability of observing the radio aurora with a backscatter radar is obtained when the line of sight is orthogonal to the earth's magnetic field in the echo region. Significant but small departures from th

New evidence is presented which shows that VHF radio echoes from auroral ionization are reflections from aspect-sensitive columns aligned with the earth's magnetic field. Previous experimental data, interpreted in terms of a distribution of ionizatio

Correlation of several magnetoionospheric wave and particle phenomena previously linked observationally to magnetospheric substorms and inferred to involve convection electric fields with whistler measurements of convection activity during two relati

IT is now well known that excess ionization associated with the aurora in or near the E-layer is capable of reflecting very high frequency radio waves with sufficient intensity to be easily detectable on a conventional radar display. Various estimate

A NUMBER of workers have reported systematic movement of very high-frequency radar echoes associated with auroral ionization. Bullough and Kaiser1 at Jodrell Bank in England interpreted their results as indicating a westward movement before 2100 hr.
