“…A paper by Bramley (1951), similar to the paper by Briggs et al (1950), summarizes the use of a cross-correlation analysis technique on the reception of radio waves from the ionosphere for two closely spaced aerial antennas, such as two antennas on an airplane, for various conditions, such as whether there is a steady signal present or not. This work was expanded on by Lindner (1975aLindner ( , 1975b, using the partial reflection technique, to understand the angular spread of downcoming reflected waves, the coherence ratio, and the scale/size of reflecting ionospheric irregularities. The work by Wernik et al (1983) used spaced receivers to study turbulent ionospheric irregularities, specifically the mean drift velocity and direction, the characteristic random velocity, the spatial scales of the irregularities, and the orientation of the irregularities.…”
