摘要

Generation of short-scale field-aligned electron density irregularities on a short timescale (1 s) by ionospheric topside sounder pulses is studied. It is a four-wave parametric coupling process, in which a sounder-launched Z mode pump wave decays into two electron Bernstein sidebands and a geomagnetic field-aligned density irregularity. The dispersion relation of the parametric coupling process has been derived and analyzed. The results show that meter-scale field-aligned electron density irregularities (FAI) can be excited with growth rates of the order of 10~5 s~(-1) under the resonance conditions that f_0 approx= f_p approx= nf_c, where f_0, f_p, and f_c are the pump wave frequency, electron plasma frequency, and electron cyclotron frequency, respectively, and n is an integer. The excited FAI extend along the magnetic field toward the satellite path, causing the incoherent scattering of the subsequently transmitted sounding pulses. This is suggested to be a possible cause of long-duration Z mode echoes appearing on the Alouette 2 ionograms when f_0 approx= f_p approx= nf_c, as reported by Benson [1997]. It is found that the threshold field of the instability decreases with increased n. It may explain why long-duration Z mode echoes were only observed when n >= 4.
