The climatology of ionospheric plasma bubbles and irregularities over Brazil
In this paper, we examine ionospheric plasma depletions (or bubbles) and irregularities observed by photometers and a ground-based receiver of the global positioning system (GPS) both located in Brazil, South America. A simultaneous observation reveals that when the ionospheric plasma becomes depleted, the GPS total electron content decreases and the associated phase fluctuations grow. Statisti...
متن کاملThe correlation of longitudinal/seasonal variations of evening equatorial pre-reversal drift and of plasma bubbles
The evening pre-reversal vertical drift velocity enhancement (PRE) constitutes an important seeding mechanism for the generation of F region irregularities. Ion density and drift measurements from ROCSAT-1 and DMSP satellites are used to examine the correlation of longitudinal/seasonal (l/s) variations in the evening pre-reversal vertical drift velocity at the magnetic equator in the topside io...
متن کاملA review on the numerical simulation of equatorial plasma bubbles toward scintillation evaluation and forecasting
Equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) have been a longstanding and increasingly important subject because they cause severe scintillations in radio waves from Global Navigation Satellite System satellites. The phenomenon was found in the 1930s as irregular ionosonde observations and was termed equatorial spread F (ESF). ESF is interpreted as plasma density irregularities associated with EPBs that ha...
متن کاملQuasi-Analytic Models for Density Bubbles and Plasma Clouds in the Equatorial Ionosphere
The equatorial ionosphere contains imbedded bubbles that rise though a horizontally stratified plasma. The motion of the bubbles are affect by gravity, neutral winds or external electric fields which produce electric fields in the F-Region density perturbations of the bubbles. Exact solutions for the electric potentials are derived assuming linear or circular symmetry to the density structures ...
متن کاملCharacterization of single and colliding laser-produced plasma bubbles using Thomson scattering and proton radiography.
Time-resolved measurements of electron and ion temperatures using Thomson scattering have been combined with proton radiography data for comprehensive characterization of individual laser-produced plasma bubbles or the interaction of bubble pairs, where reconnection of azimuthal magnetic fields occurs. Measurements of ion and electron temperatures agree with lasnex simulations of single plasma ...
