Measurements of the dynamics and coupling of the equatorial thermosphere and the F-region ionosphere in Peru
Simultaneous Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) and Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) observations from Arequipa and Jicamarca, Peru, respectively, were obtained on 24 and 25 September 1986, during which there was substantial geomagnetic activity. Comparison of the neutral thermosphere’s zonal velocity (measured by the FPI during twilight and night-time) and the F-region plasma’s zonal drift (measur...
متن کاملEquinoctial transitions in the ionosphere and thermosphere
Equinoctial summer/winter transitions in the parameters of the F2-region are analyzed using ground-based ionosonde and incoherent scatter observations. Average transition from one type of diurnal NmF2 variation to another takes 20–25 days, but cases of very fast (6–10 days) transitions are observed as well. Strong day-time NmF2 deviations of both signs from the monthly median, not related to ge...
متن کاملSimulation of equatorial electrojet magnetic effects with the thermosphere-ionosphere-electrodynamics general circulation model
[1] In this work, the magnetic variations simulated by the NCAR thermosphereionosphere-electrodynamics general circulation model (TIE-GCM) in the vicinity of the magnetic equator are examined to evaluate the ability of this model to reproduce the major features of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ) as observed on the ground as well as on board low-altitude orbiting satellites. The TIE-GCM simulate...
متن کامل9 Jupiter ’ s Thermosphere and Ionosphere
Jupiter’s upper atmosphere forms the boundary between the lower atmosphere and interplanetary space. As the topmost layer, the thermosphere absorbs solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation and charged particles from the magnetosphere that cause dissociation and ionization of thermospheric molecules. Subsequent chemistry establishes the ionosphere and the densities of minor, photoand electroche...
متن کاملImaging of the equatorial ionosphere
The equatorial anomaly is the dominant structure in free electron concentration in the tropical ionosphere. Due to its edges (crests) which are characterised by steep latitudinal gradients in TEC and are temporally and spatially variable, it is one of the ionospheric regions most difficult to image with inversion methods. In this paper we reconstruct an International Reference Ionosphere model ...
