Unusual electron density profiles observed by Cassini radio occultations in Titans ionosphere: Effects of enhanced magnetospheric electron precipitation?
[1] The Cassini radio science facility provided 13 occultation electron density profiles of Titan during the period of 2006 and 2009. This paper presents the results of all of these occultation observations. It shows that ten of the observed electron density profiles are similar, but three are significantly different. The number of observations is relatively small for meaningful statistical con...
متن کاملNightside ionosphere of Mars studied with local electron densities: A general overview and electron density depressions
[1] The radar sounder Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (MARSIS) on the Mars Express spacecraft provides local electron densities from electron plasma oscillations. Here, we use the local electron densities to study the nightside ionosphere of Mars. In this study, in which local densities were sampled to a minimum altitude of about 275 km, we measured the maximum avera...
متن کاملAnalysis of the enhanced negative correlation between electron density and electron temperature related to earthquakes
Ionospheric perturbations in plasma parameters have been observed before large earthquakes, but the correlation between different parameters has been less studied in previous research. The present study is focused on the relationship between electron density (Ne) and temperature (Te) observed by the DEMETER (Detection of Electro-Magnetic Emissions Transmitted from Earthquake Regions) satellite ...
متن کاملProton-electron precipitation eects on the electron production and density above EISCAT (Tromsù) and ESR
The suprathermal particles, electrons and protons, coming from the Sun and precipitating into the high-latitude atmosphere are an energy source for the Earth's ionosphere. They interact with the ambient thermal gas through inelastic and elastic collisions. Most of the physical quantities perturbed by the precipitation, such as the electron production rate, may be evaluated by solving the statio...
