Equatorial observations, 1908-1926

Observations on Shipleya inermis Fuhrmann, 1908 (Cestoda: Acoleidae).

6 Equatorial Currents : Observations and Theory Ants

Historically, our knowledge of the circulation patterns in the tropics was derived from compilations of shipdrift data and so was restricted to a description of the surface currents. Although information of this type is crude, a picture of the spatial and temporal structure of the surface flow field was deduced over the years, and it has been little improved upon in the modern era of instrument...

Airglow observations over the equatorial ionization anomaly zone in Taiwan

Airglow imaging at mid-latitude stations often show intensity modulations associated with medium scale travelling ionospheric disturbances (MSTID), while those carried out near the equatorial regions reveal depletions caused by equatorial plasma bubbles (EPB). Two all sky cameras are used to observe plasma depletions in the 630.0 nm emission over the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) region, ...

Observations of discrete harmonics emerging from equatorial noise

A number of modes of oscillations of particles and fields can exist in space plasmas. Since the early 1970s, space missions have observed noise-like plasma waves near the geomagnetic equator known as 'equatorial noise'. Several theories were suggested, but clear observational evidence supported by realistic modelling has not been provided. Here we report on observations by the Cluster mission t...
