In astronomy, interplanetary scintillation refers to random fluctuations in the intensity of radio waves of celestial origin, on the timescale of a few seconds. It is analogous to the twinkling one sees looking at stars in the sky at night, but in the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum rather than the visible one. Interplanetary scintillation is the result of radio waves traveling through fluctuations in the density of the electron and protons that make up the solar wind.

dbo:abstract
  • In astronomy, interplanetary scintillation refers to random fluctuations in the intensity of radio waves of celestial origin, on the timescale of a few seconds. It is analogous to the twinkling one sees looking at stars in the sky at night, but in the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum rather than the visible one. Interplanetary scintillation is the result of radio waves traveling through fluctuations in the density of the electron and protons that make up the solar wind. (en)
  • Scintillatie in de ionosfeer treedt op als plaatselijk sterker geïoniseerde gedeelten in de ionosfeer radiogolven tijdelijk focuseren of defocuseren; hieruit resulteert een fading van het signaal van enkele dB's in zowel negatieve als positieve zin. Uiteraard heeft dit uitsluitend betrekking op radiogolven welke vanuit de ruimte de aarde bereiken zoals de signalen van ruimtesondes of de moonbouncesignalen van radioamateurs. (nl)
