Vertical ionosonde

prefLabel
  • Vertical Ionosonde
definition
  • An monostatic ionosonde whose signal specularly reflects from the ionization strata normal to the signal incident angle so that it returns to the ionosonde location for detection, with most of the reflections produced by the horizontal stratum in the vertical direction of signal propagation, but also off vertically from the suitable boundaries of plasma irregularities.
