Equatorial F-region plasma depletion drifts: latitudinal and seasonal variations
The equatorial ionospheric irregularities have been observed in the past few years by different techniques (e.g. ground-based radar, digisonde, GPS, optical instruments, in situ satellite and rocket instrumentation), and its time evolution and propagation characteristics can be used to study important aspects of ionospheric dynamics and thermosphere-ionosphere coupling. At present, one of the m...
متن کاملPenetration characteristics of the interplanetary electric field to the daytime equatorial ionosphere
[1] Using 8 years of ionospheric drift measurements from the low-latitude JULIA (Jicamarca Unattended Long-term Investigations of the Ionosphere and Atmosphere) radar and the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field data from the ACE (Advance Composition Explorer) satellite, we study the characteristics of the prompt penetration of electric fields to the equatorial ionosphere. A large datab...
متن کاملImaging of the equatorial ionosphere
The equatorial anomaly is the dominant structure in free electron concentration in the tropical ionosphere. Due to its edges (crests) which are characterised by steep latitudinal gradients in TEC and are temporally and spatially variable, it is one of the ionospheric regions most difficult to image with inversion methods. In this paper we reconstruct an International Reference Ionosphere model ...
متن کاملCorrelation Structure of the Equatorial Ionosphere
With the successful implementation of the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) for the North America, there is interest in implementing similar systems in other parts of the world. The ionosphere over certain parts of the globe, notably equatorial regions and Brazil in particular, can have a far greater impact on the signals received from the satellites. The Ionospheric corrections form an inte...
متن کاملAlfvén wave characteristics of equatorial plasma irregularities in the ionosphere derived from CHAMP observations
*Correspondence: Hermann Lühr, Section 2.3, Earth’s Magnetic Field, GFZ, Telegrafenberg, Potsdam 14473, Germany e-mail: [email protected] We report magnetic field observations of the components transverse to the main field in the frequency range 1–25 Hz from times of equatorial plasma irregularity crossings. These field variations are interpreted as Alfvénic signatures accompanying intermed...
