ULF waves seen by HF radars

The research HF radars (link to SuperDARN) monitor plasma motion in the ionosphere, at around 300 km altitude. ULF waves from space encounter the inner boundary - the ionosphere and cause the ionosphere plasma to oscillate. We have developed methods to extract these ULF signatures from the Doopler data of the radars.
