Sensitivity of HF Blackout Predictions to Atmospheric Minor Neutral Species.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA072403 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report presents most recent progress in a series of studies related to the sensitivity of HF wave absorption to atmospheric parameters. The sensitivity to atmospheric minor neutral species is presented, with emphasis on the recovery phase of an HF system following nuclear blackout.
