Abstract
Radio wave scattering from field‐alined plasma columns is treated for application to the ionospheric irregularities with well‐defined structure. A scattering model is introduced in which a sufficient number of homogeneous (cylindrical) plasma columns of the same kind and shape are embedded along the magnetic field in an isotropic scattering medium. Scattering patterns of a cylindrical column of finite length are calculated for oblique incidence. It is shown that the polarization of scattered waves deviates appreciably from the incident one for sufficiently large obliquity, say larger than 30°.
