| Zusammenfassung |
| As Arecibo Observatory (AO) approaches its 50th anniversary, it is
appropriate to review the many radars and ionospheric heaters that have been
deployed on or near the 305 m dish and to summarize some of the innovative
radar-based geophysical research that has resulted. The reasons William E.
(Bill) Gordon developed the 305 m Arecibo dish are well known but are
briefly reviewed. The early and then more recent radar/feed designs are
reviewed as geophysical uses of Arecibo have evolved and as the full
potential of the dish and nearby facilities was and is being realized from
HF through S-band frequencies. This history surely has some gaps and there
are a few mysteries. The community is encouraged to fill these gaps and to
help complete the history. |
