Extract

It is now well established that observations of interplanetary scintillation from a single station can yield useful information on the angular structure of radio sources, and on the propagation of large-scale disturbances through the interplanetary medium. However, when it is required to obtain detailed information on the plasma properties single station observations suffer from the disadvantage that, in general, it is not possible to measure the velocity and scale of the irregularities independently. For example, a change in the width of the observed temporal power spectrum of the scintillations might be caused by either a change in velocity, or a change in scale, or a combination of both.
