Mid-latitude ionospheric scintillation anomaly in the Far East

An Examination of the Spring 1997 Mid - latitude East Pacific Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly

We seek to document and explain the lifecycle of the warm SST anomaly that intensified and weakened off the west coast of the United States to peak anomalies of 4' K during April-June 1997. We use remotely sensed observational data and model analyses to compute an energy budget for the warm anomaly. The bulk of the anomalous warming was confined to the top 50m of ocean and occurred during May. ...

Radar 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...

Analysis of ionospheric scintillation spectra and TEC in the Chinese low latitude region

GPS L-band scintillations and total electron content (TEC) were recorded at Sanya (18.33◦N, 109.52◦E) during the period July 2004–July 2005. Automatic recorded raw digital scintillation data are analyzed to obtain the spectral characteristics of irregularities producing ionospheric scintillations and to estimate the correlation between amplitude scintillation and power spectral density. Concurr...

The 1985 southern hemisphere mid-latitude total column ozone anomaly

One of the most significant events in the evolution of the ozone layer over southern mid-latitudes since the late 1970s was the large decrease observed in 1985. This event remains unexplained and a detailed investigation of the mechanisms responsible for the event has not previously been undertaken. In this study, the 1985 Southern Hemisphere mid-latitude total column ozone anomaly is analyzed ...
