New World Day Technique Development Using Linear Regularization of lag Pro-

files
ABSTRACT:
This prop osal is the b eginning of the "practical" part of a summer student pro ject from the past summer. We have: 1. Develop ed an inverse technique for decovolving ionospheric lag profiles b efore non-linear least squares fitting that allows pulse length biases to b e completely removed (using linear regularization). 2. Develop ed pairs of mo dulated sequences for using the technique in the F region World Day program with small statistical errors 3. Simulated the entire pro cess. We are now ready to pro ceed with test observations. This prop osal requests the telescop e time for this purp ose. This work is part of a student Phd pro ject, and also involves professors Farzad Kmalabaldi and Erhan Kudeki of the University of Illinois.

Atmospheric Observation Instruments:

Sp ecial Equipment or setup: The SAS datataking software needs an upgrade allowing different radar controller parameers to be used on sucessive radar pulses. This upgrade is also needed for at least two other potenial pro jects, one of which is also being proposed in this period.
