Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Additional frequency use may be needed for our late February 2017 science campaign, to fully analyze structures and mechanisms occurring in the upper atmospheres plasma layers.

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
1)Generation of Artificial Periodic Irregularities for measuring aeronomic parameters of the lower thermosphere. A second objective will be to extend API observations into night observations 2) Simultaneous observations of SEE at multiple gyroharmonics (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) to validate or refute recent theoretical/modeling predictions for obtaining new possibilities for aeronomy diagnostics. Second goal is to attempt to observe a two-plasmon decay type instability. 3) Produce F-region irregularities with varying heater on time between 10 seconds and 1 minutes and observe decay times. 4) Sea Scatter - HAARP will run in conjunction with satellite overflights. The objective is to observe HAARP transmissions that scatter from the sea up to the satellites. Transmissions to generate SEE will fill in gaps between satellite overpasses 5) Production of Air Glow (artificial aurora)
