Science Goals for a High-Frequency Radar and Radio Imaging Array
Science goals for a large 2 to 25-MHz radio and radar imaging array include the study of space weather, ionospheric structure and dynamics, meteors, lightning, radio propagation, and plasma physics, including stimulated ionospheric radio emissions, such as those induced by the Arecibo Observatory high-power HF radio transmitter, which is likely to be restored to operation in the near future.
