| Abstract: | The Sun affects physical phenomena on Earth in multiple ways.In particular,the material in interplanetary space comes from coronal expansion in the form of inhomogeneous plasma flow (solar wind),which is the primary source of the interplanetary medium.Ground-based Interplanetary Scintillation (IPS) observations are an important and effective method for measuring solar wind speed and the structures of small diameter radio sources.We discuss one mode of ground-based single-station observations: Single-Station Single-Frequency (SSSF) mode.To study the SSSF mode,a new system has been established at Urumqi Astronomical Observatory (UAO),China,and a series of experimental observations were successfully carried out from May to December,2008. |
