Model of radiowave scattering from ionospheric plasma disturbance creating of space vehicle exhaust plume

Spitsyn (1987, 1989) suggested a method of calculating the effect of radiowave scattering on the disturbance of the ionospheric plasma electron concentration, created by a shock wave resulting from an explosion on the Earth surface. Here this method and the numerical method of calculation of radiowave scattering on the conical turbulent flow are used for modelling of radiowave scattering on the disturbance of electron concentration of the ionospheric plasma, created by a shock wave generated by a space vehicle exhaust plume in the upper atmosphere. The geometry of radiowave scattering on the shock wave disturbance is presented.
