Ionospheric slab thickness – analysis, modelling and monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
A review of the climatological and storm-time behaviour of the ionospheric slab thickness is presented based on long-time observations at a European mid-latitude site, Dourbes (50.1°N, 04.6°E), and on published results from other studies. An operational electron density and slab thickness monitoring system, established to provide real-time characterisation of the local ionospheric dynamics, is outlined together with some exemplary results.

Variation of ionospheric slab thickness over South Africa
Ionospheric slab thickness is defined as the ratio of TEC to maximum electron density of the F-region (NmF2), proportional to the square of the F2-layer critical frequency (foF2). It is an important parameter in that it is linearly correlated with scale height of the ionosphere, which is related to electron density profile. It also reflects variation of the neutral temperature. Therefore, ionos...
متن کاملVariations of electron density based on long-term incoherent scatter radar and ionosonde measurements over Millstone Hill
[1] Measurements from the incoherent scatter radar (ISR) and ionosonde over Millstone Hill (42.6 N, 288.5 E) are analyzed to explore ionospheric temporal variations. The F2 layer peak density NmF2, peak height hmF2, and scale height H are derived from a Chapman a layer fitting to observed ISR electron density profiles. Diurnal, seasonal, and solar activity variations of the ionospheric characte...
متن کاملAnalysis of Rolling Process for Clad Sheet Using the Modified Slab Method
In this paper, an analytical model based on Modified Slab Method is presented for rolling of clad sheet or double-layers in which the two layers are bounded prior to rolling. This model considers the general case of asymmetrical rolling due to unequal 
surface speed, different contact friction, roll diameters, flow stress, and thickness ratios of the two layers. Using this model, rolling par...

متن کاملReal time monitoring for nowcasting and forecasting ionospheric space weather in Europe with ground digisondes
The Earth’s ionosphere largely determines space weather effects on radio wave communications, navigation and surveillance systems. Lately there has been an increasing demand for ionospheric nowcast and accurate forecast services by various groups of users, including European industry. The paper reviews research activities in Europe based on the exploitation of real-time ground digisondes for th...
