Real Heights of SuperDARN F Region Echoes Inferred from Electron Density Measurements by the Rankin Inlet and RISR-C Radars
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study is one of the first attempts to estimate statistically the real, physical height of SuperDARN F region echoes in the polar cap. To achieve this, measurements of the electron density in the scattering volume of the Rankin Inlet SuperDARN radar are compared with the electron density profiles measured by the incoherent scatter radar RISR-C (located at Resolute Bay) in beams oriented towards Rankin Inlet. The scatter height of echoes was found to be in the range of 210-270 km with the most frequently occurring values of ~230-250 km. Overall, no strong trend in echo height versus local time was identified although the tendency for heights to be lower during noon/afternoon hours was noticed. Seasonally, the echo heights were ~10 km larger at equinox compared to winter. The echo heights were below F2 layer peak height by ~45 km with largest offsets during morning/prenoon hours. Typical differences in the height of 12 and 10 MHz echoes was found to be 10-15 km with no obvious diurnal and seasonal trends.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
