VHF scintillations, orientation of the anisotropy of F-region irregularities and direction of plasma convection in the polar cap

Scintillation data recorded at the polar cap station Barentsburg are shown to occasionally exhibit two or more peaks in the latitudinal profiles of the amplitude dispersion. Comparison with concurrent SuperDARN radar convection maps indicates that multiple peaks occur when Barentsburg is located...
