Abstract:Abstract. High-frequency electromagnetic pumping of ionospheric F-region plasma at high and mid latitudes gives
the strongest plasma response in magnetic zenith,
antiparallel to the geomagnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere.
This has been observed in optical emissions from
the pumped plasma turbulence, electron temperature enhancements,
filamentary magnetic field-aligned plasma density irregularities,
and in self-focusing of the pump beam in magnetic zenith.
