Conditional integration of Incoherent Scattering in relation to flickering aurora
[1] In this report we present incoherent scatter radar (ISR) observations of ionospheric response to precipitation causing flickering aurora. Flickering aurora is caused by electron precipitation with modulations at frequencies higher than 5 Hz. To resolve the variation at these short time-scales with ISR we have integrated together pulses at the same phase of the optical intensity variation ob...
متن کاملCoexisting structures from high- and low-energy precipitation in fine-scale aurora
High resolution multi-monochromatic measurements of auroral emissions have revealed the first optical evidence of co-existing small-scale auroral features resulting from separate high and low energy populations of precipitating electrons on the same field line. The features exhibit completely separate motion and morphology. From emission ratios and ion chemistry modeling, the average energy and...
متن کاملSmall-scale structures in the far-infrared background
Four fields with areas ranging from 80 to 2000 arcmin2 have been mapped with the photometer on board of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) at 90 and around 180μm in regions of bright and faint cirrus. We examined the spatial characteristics of the infrared background emission with high spatial resolution and found that the fluctuations in the background emission limit the detection sensitivit...
متن کاملGeneration of small - scale structures in the developed turbulence
The Navier-Stokes equation for incompressible liquid is considered in the limit of infinitely large Reynolds number. It is assumed that the flow instability leads to generation of steady-state large-scale pulsations. The excitation and evolution of the smallscale turbulence is investigated. It is shown that the developed small-scale pulsations are intermittent. The maximal amplitude of the vort...
متن کاملSize Matters – Revealing Small Scale Structures in Large Datasets
The size of datasets generated in the medical imaging community is increasing faster than additional processing resources are made available. Even if we can surmount the hurdles in large data handling and processing, the amount of information encoded in these datasets is overwhelming. Therefore effective visualization techniques must allow a user to identify and focus on scientifically interest...
