We propose to continue observing sporadic E layers, irregularities in the layers, and contextual parameters throughout the E and F region over Arecibo in postsunset summer hours using the Arecibo incoherent scatter radar and associated imagers and lidars. The radar should be operated in dual-beam mode using a combination of maximal length coded pulses, MRACF pulses, and coded long pulses, similar to what is used for World Day mode. Additional experiments involving double maximal length codes may also be used. The ob jective is to measure densities, drifts, and electric fields within irregular sporadic E layers as completely as possible. The experiments will be supported by imaging coherent scatter radars on St. Croix and Guadeloupe which have common volumes with Arecibo in the E and F regions, respectively. Our ob jective is to relate thermospheric motion and ionospheric dynamics to E- and R-region plasma instabilities and irregularities experimentally and ultimately theoretically.
