Midday reversal of equatorial ionospheric electric ®eld
A comparative study of the geomagnetic and ionospheric data at equatorial and low-latitude stations in India over the 20 year period 1956±1975 is described. The reversal of the electric ®eld in the ionosphere over the magnetic equator during the midday hours indicated by the disappearance of the equatorial sporadic E region echoes on the ionograms is a rare phenomenon occurring on about 1% of t...
متن کاملLongitudinal differences of ionospheric vertical density distribution and equatorial electrodynamics
[1] Accurate estimation of global vertical distribution of ionospheric and plasmaspheric density as a function of local time, season, and magnetic activity is required to improve the operation of space-based navigation and communication systems. The vertical density distribution, especially at low and equatorial latitudes, is governed by the equatorial electrodynamics that produces a vertical d...
متن کاملELF/VLF Wave Radiation Produced by an Equatorial Ionospheric Heater
Intense HF radiation from a ground-based facility heats the D-region of the ionosphere. The heating modifies the electron energy distribution function, which is found by solving the kinetic equation at each spatial location. The solution selfconsistently takes into account attenuation of HF radiation due to modified HF conductivity. A modulation HF radiation at ELF/VLF frequencies creates corre...
متن کاملImproved horizontal wind model HWM07 enables estimation of equatorial ionospheric electric fields from satellite magnetic measurements
[1] Horizontal neutral winds play an important role in lowlatitude ionospheric E and F-region dynamics. In particular, the zonal winds have strong effects on the local structure of the low-latitude ionospheric current system. Accurate wind specification is therefore essential for modeling these currents. In order to investigate the retrieval of eastward electric fields from satellite-derived eq...
متن کاملNumerical analysis of global ionospheric current system including the eect of equatorial enhancement
A modeling method is proposed to derive a two-dimensional ionospheric layer conductivity, which is appropriate to obtain a realistic solution of the polar-originating ionospheric current system including equatorial enhancement. The model can be obtained by modifying the conventional, thin shell conductivity model. It is shown that the modi®cation for one of the non-diagonal terms (Shu) in the c...
