Rate My Professor Andrew MacKinnon

Andrew MacKinnon's research focuses on ionospheric variability, gravity waves, radar observations, VHF boundary layer radar, traveling ionospheric disturbances, mesospheric gravity wave momentum flux, sea surface backscatter coefficients, and aerosol layers. His contributions to the field are evidenced by key publications such as "Doppler variations in radar observations of resident space objects: Likely Ionospheric Pc1 plasma waves" by Jonker et al. (2024, Advances in Space Research); "Are we Developing Career-Readiness Skills in Australian Science Graduates?" by Hume et al. (2024, International Journal of Innovation in Science and Mathematics Education); "High Frequency Land Backscatter Coefficients over Northern Australia and the Effects of Various Surface Properties" by Edwards, Cervera, and MacKinnon (2022, IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation); "A Comparison of the Barrick and Backscatter Ionogram Methods of Calculating Sea Surface Backscatter Coefficients" by Edwards, Cervera, and MacKinnon (2022, Remote Sensing); "Australian Lidar measurements of aerosol layers associated with the 2015 Calbuco eruption" by Klekociuk et al. (2020, Atmosphere); "Multistatic meteor radar observations of gravity-wave-tidal interaction over southern Australia" by Spargo, Reid, and MacKinnon (2019, Atmospheric Measurement Techniques); and "Mesospheric gravity wave momentum flux estimation using hybrid Doppler interferometry" by Spargo, Reid, and MacKinnon (2017, Annales Geophysicae).
