Planning for coordinated space and ground-based ionospheric modification experimentsThe planning and conduction of coordinated space and ground-based ionospheric modification experiments are discussed. The purpose of these experiments is to discuss: (1) the nonlinear VLF wave interaction with the ionospheric plasmas; and (2) the nonlinear propagation of VLF waves in the HF-modified ionosphere. It is expected that the HF-induced ionospheric density striations can render the nonlinear mode conversion of VLF waved into lower hybrid waves. Lower hybrid waves can also be excited parametrically by the VLF waves in the absence of the density striations if the VLF waves are intense enough. Laboratory experiments are planned for crosschecking the results obtained from the field experiments.
