Influence of an artificially disturbed ionosphere on the mesospheric ozone

The results of microwave measurements of ozone emission in the middle atmosphere during modification of the ionosphere by high-power short radio waves on March 14–19, 2009 and on March 27–28, 2011. The modification was carried out using a SURA heating facility (Radiophysical Research Institute) in conjunction with two microwave ozonometers aimed at different parts of the sky. A new physical phenomenon of decrease of the intensity of microwave emission from the mesosphere in the ozone line upon the modification of the ionosphere with high-power short radio waves is discovered.
