Abstract

Field-aligned auroral electrons precipitating into the atmosphere are likely to amplify the ionospheric thermal density fluctuations significantly at F-layer heights for the k value observable with the EISCAT VHF radar, but not for the larger k value of the UHF radar. A strong amplification of the wave amplitude may happen in a small fraction of a second, while the wave propagates only one or a few kilometers.
