The WIND-HAARP Experiment: Initial results of high power radiowave interactions with space plasmas. Geophysical Research Letters 25: doi: 10.1029/98GL00037. issn: 0094-8276.

Results from the first science experiment with the new HF Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) in Alaska are reported. The objective was to study the effects of space plasmas on high power radiowave transmission to high altitudes in the magnetosphere. Reception was done by the NASA/WIND satellite. The data suggest that structured space plasmas along the propagation path impose a power law spectrum of fluctuations on the transmitted waves, resembling scintillations. Because the transmitted waves are near ionospheric plasma frequencies, other types of wave-plasma interactions may occur. Such measurements can provide a new diagnostic tool. ¿ 1998 American Geophysical Union
