Evaluation of the Mid-Latitude Ionospheric trough Using GRACE Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, statistical analysis of the main ionospheric trough was performed using K-band ranging system (KBR) measurements from GRACE satellite constellation 2002 to 2015. The investigated period covers high- and low-solar-activity conditions. mid-latitude (MIT) characteristics were for both northern southern hemispheres. MIT parameters such as minimum position, width depth, occurrence probability studied in connection with magnetic local time; geographic distribution; seasons; solar activity; geomagnetic activity conditions, wind plasma speed, interplanetary field components, high-resolution indices SYM–H Hp30.

The correlation between mid-latitude trough and the plasmapause
[1] We use simultaneous global observations of the mid-latitude trough and the plasmapause to experimentally prove a long-standing conjecture of magnetosphereionosphere couplingnamely the mid-latitude trough and plasmapause are on the same field line. Global Ionospheric Maps (GIM), generated using ground based GPS receivers, are used to detect the globally extended mid-latitude trough; while gl...
متن کاملRadar studies of mid-latitude ionospheric plasma drifts
We use incoherent scatter radar measurements from Millstone Hill and Saint Santin to study the midlatitude F region electrodynamic plasma drifts during geomagnetically quiet and active periods. We present initially a local time, season, and solar flux dependent analytical model of the quiet time zonal and meridional ExB drifts over these stations. We discuss, for the first time, the Saint Santi...
متن کاملThe role of ionospheric clutter in mid-latitude and arctic regions for assessment of HFSWR surveillance
The ionosphere is the region of the earth’s atmosphere in which gases are ionized by radiation such as ultraviolet light from the sun and cosmic rays from outer space. The unwanted radar echoes from the ionosphere are collectively called ionospheric clutter. This paper studies the arctic and mid-latitude ionospheric environment using ionosonde data and assesses High-Frequency Surface-Wave Radar...
متن کاملMid-latitude ionospheric perturbation associated with the Spacelab-2 plasma depletion experiment at Millstone Hill
Elevation scans across geomagnetic mid latitudes by the incoherent scatter radar at Millstone Hill captured the ionospheric response to the ®ring of the Space Shuttle Challenger OMS thrusters near the peak of the F layer on July 30, 1985. Details of the excitation of airglow and the formation of an ionospheric hole during this event have been reported in an earlier paper by Mendillo et al.. The...
متن کاملModel results for the ionospheric lower transition height over mid-latitude
Theoretical calculations of the ionospheric lower transition height (LTH), a level of equal O and molecular ion densities, were performed and compared with empirical models by Zhang et al. (1996). This paper represents a substantial extension of the prior work by including the AE-C data of ion composition analysis and by detailed quantitative studies of the LTH simulation, and by creating a new...
