Transverse-beam incoherent scatter radar measurements of F region plasma densities at Jicamarca.==$Radio Science, 38$==(4), 10. https://doi.org/10.1029/2002RS002722index-oti2018http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12816/1809Models for the self- and cross-correlation of orthogonal polarized quasi-transverse incoherent scatter returns are presented. The models are used to estimate the F region plasma densities with dual-polarization transverse-beam incoherent scatter data collected at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory using a technique introduced by Kudeki et al. [2003]. The cross-correlation model takes into account magneto-ionic propagation effects associated with quasi-transverse O- and X-modes in an inhomogeneous ionosphere. The phase of the cross-correlation provides the information to convert the measured power data into ionospheric density estimates via a least squares fitting procedure.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEquatorial ionosphereIonospheric propagationRemote sensingWaves in plasmainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#1.05.01Radio Sciencehttps://doi.org/10.1029/2002RS002722
