High-latitude polar pattern of ionospheric electron density: Scaling features and IMF dependence

Polar, Cluster and SuperDARN evidence for high-latitude merging during southward IMF: temporal/spatial evolution

Magnetic merging on the dayside magnetopause often occurs at high latitudes. Polar measured fluxes of accelerated ions and wave Poynting vectors while skimming the subsolar magnetopause. The measurements indicate that their source was located to the north of the spacecraft, well removed from expected component merging sites. This represents the first use of wave Poynting flux as a merging discr...

The latitude dependence and probability distribution of polar mesospheric turbulence

Multiresolution Tomography of Ionospheric Electron Density

Tomographic Reconstruction of the Ionospheric Electron Density in term of Wavelets

Ionospheric tomography is a method to investigate the ionospheric electron density in two or three dimensions. In this study, the function-based tomographic technique has been used for regional reconstruction of a 3D tomographic model of the ionospheric electron density using the GPS measurements of the Iranian Permanent GPS Network. Two-dimensional Haar wavelets and empirical orthogonal functi...

The influence of IMF By on the nature of the nightside high-latitude ionospheric flow during intervals of positive IMF Bz

This paper further addresses the issue of nightside flow bursts which occur during intervals of northward but strongly BY -influenced IMF. Recent discussions of such bursts concerned intervals during which the IMF BY component was negative. The present study concerns an interval of BY -positive IMF which occurred on 20 March 2002 (01:00– 12:00 UT). During the interval BY increased steadily from...
