Artificial Ducts and Ion Outflows in the Topside Ionosphere at HAARP

New results of the DMSP and DEMETER satellites and HAARP digisonde observations during HF heating at the High-Frequency Active Auroral Program (HAARP) facility are described. The ion outflows related to artificial ducts created by HF-heating at HAARP were measured simultaneously in the topside ionosphere by the DMSP satellites and in the bottom side ionosphere by the HAARP ionosonde. The artificial ducts were also measured by the French microsatellite DEMETER. Namely, measurements of the electron and ion densities and temperatures showed clear duct characteristics. These observations are compared with the predictions of the SAMI2 model. The comparison shows an agreement between SAMI2 and the DMSP and DEMETER results.
