Multi-instrument observations of SCIPS: 1. ISR and GPS TEC results

چکیده

An uninterrupted multi-day (6–8 May 2013) ionospheric F-region event with features indicative of medium-scale traveling disturbances (MSTIDs) was detected the Millstone Hill (MH) incoherent scatter radar (ISR). It later identified, addition Global Positioning System total electron content (GPS-TEC) imaging, as a novel phenomenon. This phenomenon is herein termed semi-coherent pulsing structures (SCIPS). The presumptive-MSTIDs in this had ~1 h period and were observed during calm-to-minor geomagnetic conditions using both vertical-looking (Zenith) steerable (Millstone Steerable Antenna, or MISA) MH ISR systems. To image MSTID events on larger horizontal scale than possible systems alone, dense network GPS TEC receivers leveraged. ISR-observed located GPS-TEC data geographically centered location ~100 km resolution (pixel size). However, keogram analysis revealed that coherency across continental United States. same technique additionally exposed similar occurring globally throughout observing period. Our multi-instrument approach allows us to conclude comprised large-scale continuously forced, (SCIPS) masqueraded MSTIDs when viewed locally. images show SCIPS stationary longitude global scale, but appeared propagate southward direction Northern Hemisphere. not obtain direct imaging southern hemisphere due smaller number receivers. appear originate at high latitudes and, several instances, coherent over 10,000 km. apparent latitude source location, ubiquity, coherence suggest unexpected impulsive auroral oval sources containing enough energy continually force MSTID-like even low activity periods.

Sea level measurements using multi-frequency GPS and GLONASS observations

Global Positioning System (GPS) tide gauges have been realized in different configurations, e.g., with one zenith-looking antenna, using the multipath interference pattern for signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) analysis, or with one zenithand one nadir-looking antenna, analyzing the difference in phase delay, to estimate the sea level height. In this study, for the first time, we use a true Global Nav...

Multivariate Monitoring with GPS Observations and Auxiliary Multi-Sensor Data

In a multi-sensor measurement or monitoring environment, p variables are measured simultaneously. The measured data are correlated and can be monitored to identify special causes of variation in order to establish control and to obtain reference samples to use as a basis in determining the control limits for future observations. One common method of constructing multivariate control charts is b...

Some Observations on Dirac Measure-Preserving Transformations and their Results

Dirac measure is an important measure in many related branches to mathematics. The current paper characterizes measure-preserving transformations between two Dirac measure spaces or a Dirac measure space and a probability measure space. Also, it studies isomorphic Dirac measure spaces, equivalence Dirac measure algebras, and conjugate of Dirac measure spaces. The equivalence classes of a Dirac ...

Tropospheric Delay Corrections to Differential Insar Results from Gps Observations

Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) techniques have been recognised as well-suited for ground deformation monitoring applications. However, the spatially and temporally variable delay of the radar signal propagating through the atmosphere represents a major limitation to accuracy. The dominant factor to be considered is the tropospheric heterogeneity, which can lead t...
