Zusammenfassung |
The aim of this paper is to show the gain of
the global fit procedure compared to the classical gate-by-gate analysis in the
simultaneous determination of the temperatures and composition profiles in the
lower F region. A method for the evaluation of the transition altitude and the
width of the transition region between molecular and atomic ions is described in
the case of the EISCAT CP1 experiment; it is validated using a simulated
experiment. It is shown that alternating-code gates have to be processed
together with the long-pulse gates. Our new method is applied on six days of
actual data. The results obtained during quiet periods are compared with
independent estimations. |
