摘要：
Statistical properties of the amplitude and phase of GPS L1 signals sampled at 50 Hz are investigated to understand the turbulent behavior of the polar region ionosphere. Wavelet detrended amplitude and phase data are used to construct the probability distribution function (PDF) of the amplitude and phase fluctuations of the signal. Turbulent behavior of the ionosphere is quantified using the skewness and kurtosis of the PDF. It is found that these two independent moments are related through a parabolic relationship, which was also reported in the case of turbulent neutral fluids and turbulent laboratory plasmas.
