Ionospheric Plasma Effects

During the first half of this contract, the following effects, related to ionospheric modification experiments were investigated: (1) Convective parametric amplification (improvement and exercise of a computer code yielding a theoretical parametric study of Arecibo spectral observations in qualitative agreement with measurements in restricted parameter domains); (2) Refraction by the pump of parametrically generated waves in both the laboratory and the ionosphere; (3) Double resonance excitation in a homogeneous plasma by infinite wavelength pumps in general and for laboratory and ionospheric applications in particular; and (4) Parametric instabilities driven by linearly converted pump modes.
