Results of the joint HIPAS/NUWC campaigns to investigate ELF generated by auroral electrojet modulation
Abstract
This paper reports the results of the first concerted effort (both experimentally and theoretically) to characterize the various parameters of the Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) and HIgh Power Auroral Stimulation (HIPAS) polar electrojet antenna excited by the HIPAS radiating facility. These parameters include the magnetic dipole moment, excitation height, and range and bearing dependence. The experimentally determined values of these various parameters, using a mobile ELF receiver, as well as a long distance station, are in agreement with predictions.
