Low-latitude 10 eV electrons: Nighttime plasma line as a new research capability

The incoherent scatter radar (ISR) plasma line (PL) in daylight is excited by photoelectrons. Measurement of its intensity (κTp) has long been used for their study. At night, despite the absence of any other excitation mechanism, the PL intensity should have a thermal amplitude level κTe, determined...
