Resúmenes

The decametric radiowaves propagation in the ionospheric plasma was considered. Bicharacteristic system of equations was used in the modeling ray structures. This system, which allows finding the ray paths with great precision, was obtained by D.S. Lukin. Models of the ionosphere with horizontal gradients were used in the calculations; local inhomogeneities, such as reduced electron density in the maximum layer and increased electron density below the maximum layer, were taken into account. The features of shortwave propagation, such as getting a wave of interlayer channel, distribution and out of it, reflection of waves from different ionospheric layers were explored. Was shown that the rays can be ejected from the field of distribution and curled when hit in the inhomogeneity of the ionosphere. The formation of caustic surfaces and its dynamics were studied. The radiowaves propagation in the Earth’s ionosphere was studied. This ionosphere profiles were restored the scientific group led by Professor V.E. Kunitsyn by radiotomography method based on real observations. Ray structures in the area of “equatorial anomaly” were built. The models, both including and excluding the effect of Earth’s magnetic field and the influence of the equatorial anomaly were considered. Ray structures at the different positions of the radiation source, as well as different operating frequency, were investigated. Dynamic model of the ray’s propagation was developed.

Abstract

The decametric radiowaves propagation in the ionospheric plasma was considered. Bicharacteristic system of equations was used in the modeling ray structures. This system, which allows finding the ray paths with great precision, was obtained by D.S. Lukin. Models of the ionosphere with horizontal gradients were used in the calculations; local inhomogeneities, such as reduced electron density in the maximum layer and increased electron density below the maximum layer, were taken into account. The features of shortwave propagation, such as getting a wave of interlayer channel, distribution and out of it, reflection of waves from different ionospheric layers were explored. Was shown that the rays can be ejected from the field of distribution and curled when hit in the inhomogeneity of the ionosphere. The formation of caustic surfaces and its dynamics were studied. The radiowaves propagation in the Earth’s ionosphere was studied. This ionosphere profiles were restored the scientific group led by Professor V.E. Kunitsyn by radiotomography method based on real observations. Ray structures in the area of “equatorial anomaly” were built. The models, both including and excluding the effect of Earth’s magnetic field and the influence of the equatorial anomaly were considered. Ray structures at the different positions of the radiation source, as well as different operating frequency, were investigated. Dynamic model of the ray’s propagation was developed.

Resumen

Se considera la propagación de radioondas decamétricas en el plasma ionosférico. Se usa un sistema bicaracterístico de ecuaciones para modelar las estructuras radiales. Este sistema, que permite encontrar los caminos radiales con gran precisión, fueobtenido por D.S. Lukin. En los cálculos se usaron modelos de la ionosfera con gradientes horizontales; se tomaron en cuenta inhomogeneidades locales, tales como densidad reducida de electrones en la capa máxima y dendidad aumentada de electrones ba jo la capa máxima. Se exploraron características de la propagación de las ondas cortas. Se muestra que los rayos pueden ser expulsados del campo de distribución y hacer un bucle cuando chocan con la inhomogeneidad dela ionosfera. Se estudia la formación de superficies cáusticas y su dinámica. También se estudia la propagación de radioondas en la ionosfera de la Tierra. Los perfiles de esta ionosfera fueron dados al grupo liderado por el Profesor V.E. Kunitsyn por medio del método de radiotomografía basado en observaciones reales. Se construyeron estructuras de rayos en el área de “anomalía ecuatorial”. Se consideraron que incluyen y que excluyen el efecto del campo magnético de la Tierra y la influencia de la anomalía ecuatorial. Se investigaron estructuras radiales en diferentes posiciones de la fuenta de la radiación, así como diferentes frecuencias operativas.
