Low-latitude 10eV 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 ( Kappa T sub(p) ) 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 Ka...
