“…The HF Doppler technique is also an important observational tool used for studying the effects of infrasonic waves on the ionosphere. These effects have been reviewed by Blanc (1985), Pokhotelov et al (1995) and Krasnov et al (2006). There are many mechanisms and sources of infrasound excitation in the atmosphere such as various strong meteorological phenomena (Hedlin et al, 2002), bolides, meteors, solar eclipses, auroral activity, earthquakes, nuclear and strong chemical explosions, rocket and shuttle launches, aircrafts, etc.…”
