On Determinants of Euro-Dollar Rates : An Empirical Study by DOLS

© 2015 Springer Science+Business Media New York. Characteristics of the wave disturbances of the ionospheric electron number density were measured using the Kharkov incoherent scatter radar. The disturbance generation accompanied the SURA heating of the near-Earth plasma by high-power periodic radiation. The distance between the heater and the radar was about 960 km. The possibility of generating ionospheric wave disturbances with a period of 20 to 30 min in the internal gravity wave range was confirmed. The disturbance propagation velocity was near 320–400 m/s, and the relative amplitude of the electron density variation was 1–10%. The wave disturbances appeared in the altitude range 145–235 km. Aperiodic bursts of the electron number density with a relative amplitude of up to 5–10% were detected after the first switch-ons of periodic radiation in the 30-min heating — 30-min pause regime at altitudes of 145 to 310 km. The observation results generally conform to the synchronous observation data obtained using the Kharkov vertical-sounding Doppler radar and a network of ionosondes

Travelling ionospheric disturbances over Kharkiv, Ukraine, accompanying the operation of EISCAT heater facility

We have detected the travelling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) over Kharkiv with periods of 40–80 min occurring in the time range between 09:00 and 10:30 UT on November 22 and between 10:00 and 12:00 UT on November 23, 2012 during and after the operation of the EISCAT heater facility. The duration of these disturbances were less than 120–180 min. The relative amplitudes of the TIDs in electron density ranged from 0.05 to 0.15 and those in electron and ion temperatures were about 0.02 – 0.05. Assuming that these TIDs have been generated in the heated region, we described the possible mechanisms of their generation.Виявлено рухомі іоносферні збурення (РІЗ) над Харковом з періодами 40–80 хв., що мали місце впродовж 09:00 – 10:30 UT 22 листопада та з 10:00 до 12:00 UT 23 листопада 2012 р. в період і після роботи нагрівного стенда EISCAT. Тривалість цих збурень не перевищувала 120–180 хв. Відносні амплітуди РІЗ концентрації електронів складали 0.05 – 0.15, а РІЗ температур електронів та іонів дорівнювали 0.02 – 0.05. За припущення, що ці РІЗ були згенерровані в нагрітій області, описано можливі механізми їх генерації
