The Use of High Frequency Solar Radar to Detect Coronal Mass Ejections
Abstract
This report results from a contract tasking Institute of Radio Astronomy (RIAN) as follows: The contractor will investigate the usable frequencies and effective radiated powers required to penetrate the ionosphere, reach the sun and return at detectable levels; the best duty cycles and waveforms needed to coordinate Sura radar operations with the UTR-2 antenna and the ionospheric effect on transmitted radar waves. Radar tests planned for the Sura and UTR-2 facilities will be correlated with various solar monitoring observatories providing images of the solar corona and the solar disk. All work is to be performed as described in the proposal.
