Profiles of electron density 1day average with MF radar at Poker Flat, Alaska.

ResourceID
spase://IUGONET/NumericalData/NICT/SALMON/PF/MFradar/DAE/PT1D_txt

Description
The radar transmits radio pulses vertically into the upper atmosphere at 2.43 MHz. Returns will be produced by stratified layers and irregularities in the ionospheric D-region, to deduce height profiles of electron density 1day average at 50 - 100 km.
