Downward auroral currents from the reconnection Hall-region
We present a simple (stationary) mechanism capable of generating the auroral downward field-aligned electric field that is needed for accelerating the ionospheric electron component up into the magnetosphere and confining the ionospheric ions at low latitudes (as is required by observation of an ionospheric cavity in the downward auroral current region). The lifted ionospheric electrons carry t...
متن کاملIonospheric Models including the Auroral Environment
Modelling of the ionospheric-plasmaspheric electrondensity height profile N(h), as well as other parameters like the ion composition or electron and ion temperatures, over the whole altitude range for all geographical positions, time spans, and geophysical conditions is an essential part of ionospheric physics and a critical element in the development of practical schemes for ionospheric space ...
متن کاملIonospheric effects on differential GPS applications during auroral substorm activity
Ž . The use of the Global Positioning System GPS technology has become increasingly incorporated into airborne remote sensing applications over the past decade. While GPS positioning results may prove adequate for several applications at present, users should expect to experience degraded positioning accuracies over the next few years due to auroral substorm activity. Such degraded accuracies w...
متن کاملIonospheric structure and the generation of auroral roar
Ionospheric electron density data from the Sondrestrom incoherent scatter radar (ISR) have been used to characterize the structure of the F region ionosphere during ground-based LF/MF/HF receiver observations of natural ionospheric radio emissions known as auroral roar. In five out of six cases, the F region ionosphere has significant horizontal Ne gradient scale lengths (IVN/NI mi• < 120 km, m...
متن کاملModulation of auroral electrojet currents using dual modulated HF beams with ELF phase offset, a potential Dregion ionospheric diagnostic
[1] Experiments at the ionospheric heating facility of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) are performed employing dual HF beams amplitude modulated at ELF/VLF with a phase offset between the two modulation waveforms. The amplitude of the observed ELF/VLF waves is strongly dependent on the imposed ELF/VLF phase offset, the modulation waveform, and the orientation of the H...
