Ionospheric redistribution during geomagnetic storms
[1]The abundance of plasma in the daytime ionosphere is often seen to grow greatly during geomagnetic storms. Recent reports suggest that the magnitude of the plasma density enhancement depends on the UT of storm onset. This possibility is investigated over a 7year period using global maps of ionospheric total electron content (TEC) produced at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The analysis confir...
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 F-region storms: unsolved problems
Befitting the venue of this meeting, we first investigate the polar ionosphere. The most pressing problem here is that no reliable description of this region is available, not even for undisturbed conditions. To improve on this situation we have investigated the properties of some of the more prominent anomalies observed in this region, including the heating effect below the magnetospheric cusp...
متن کاملEISCAT observations of plasma patches at sub-auroral cusp latitudes
A sequence of 3 patches of high-density (1012 m−3) cold plasma on a horizontal scale-size of 300– 700 km was observed near magnetic noon by the EISCAT VHF radar above Svalbard on 17 December 2001. The patches followed a trajectory towards the cusp inflow region. The combination of radar and all-sky observations demonstrates that the patches must have been segmented equatorward of the cusp/cleft...
متن کاملNeutral composition effects on ionospheric storms at middle and low latitudes
[1] The two-dimensional structure of thermospheric neutral composition, specifically, the atomic oxygen to molecular nitrogen column density ratio, [O/N2], is studied during the 17–24 April 2002 geomagnetic storms to understand the cause of ionospheric storms in regions equatorward of the auroral oval on an instantaneous large scale. The [O/N2] ratio is derived from the dayglow emission ratio o...
