Ionospheric Scintillation Diagnostic on LOFAR ILT Network in Single Station Mode

The aim of the study is to obtain quantitative information on the conditions of ionospheric plasma and its variability at mid-latitudes. For this purpose, we use the S4 scintillation index parameter, which is widely used in other diagnostic techniques, such as Global Navigation Satel-lite System (GN...

Summary:The aim of the study is to obtain quantitative information on the conditions of ionospheric plasma and its variability at mid-latitudes. For this purpose, we use the S4 scintillation index parameter, which is widely used in other diagnostic techniques, such as Global Navigation Satel-lite System (GNSS). This paper presents a method for determination of ionospheric scintillation intensity with the use of single LOw-Frequency ARray for radio astronomy (LOFAR)station - PL610. We show the specificity of LOFAR measurements, related problems, and methods to obtain ionospheric scintillation index.
