abstract = "Equatorial ionospheric irregularities at meter scale sizes have been well-studied using Very High Frequency (VHF) radar systems at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory (JRO). For example, the Jicamarca Unattended Long-Term Studies of the Ionosphere and Atmosphere (JULIA) is a 50 MHz coherent scatter radar system and has operated routinely since 1996. Radio waves transmitted by JULIA reflect off of field-aligned irregularities with scale sizes of ~3-meters due to Bragg scattering. Recently, the deployment and later repair of an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radar system at the JRO provided an opportunity for coherent backscatter radar studies of irregularities with sub-meter scale sizes. The 14-panel version of the Advanced Modular Incoherent Scatter Radar (AMISR-14) system makes measurements at 445 MHz, corresponding to measurements of previously unobserved ~34-centimeters equatorial irregularities.",
