Abstract

The present paper is devoted to the description of an improved method for determination of the ionospheric electron density values by Kharkov Incoherent Scatter Radar. This method allows to improve the resolution of the incoherent signals parameters up to ∼20 km in the range of 100-400 km and ∼100 km in the range of 200-1100 km. This approach was used to investigate variability of the ionospheric electron density over East European region in the heights interval of 100-1000 km during the period from 2003 to 2008, including case-studies of solar eclipses and ionospheric storms.
