Large-Scale Dynamical Fields Associated with Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves
Convectively coupled equatorial waves, as previously detected in studies of wavenumber-frequency spectra of tropical clouds, are studied in more detail. Composite dynamical structures of the waves are obtained using linear regression between selectively filtered satellite-observed outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) data, and various fields from a global reanalysis dataset. The selective filterin...
متن کاملEquatorial F-region plasma depletion drifts: latitudinal and seasonal variations
The equatorial ionospheric irregularities have been observed in the past few years by different techniques (e.g. ground-based radar, digisonde, GPS, optical instruments, in situ satellite and rocket instrumentation), and its time evolution and propagation characteristics can be used to study important aspects of ionospheric dynamics and thermosphere-ionosphere coupling. At present, one of the m...
متن کاملStudy of equatorial E region irregularities using rare daytime VHF scintillation observations
Scintillations on VHF radio signal are sparsely observed during daytime due to unavailability of strong electron density irregularities in equatorial E or F region. Type I/II irregularities observed at E region altitudes during the daytime are linked with either two-stream or gradient drift instability. The occurrence of these irregularities in presence of strong blanketing Es (Esb) can produce...
متن کاملAlfvén wave characteristics of equatorial plasma irregularities in the ionosphere derived from CHAMP observations
*Correspondence: Hermann Lühr, Section 2.3, Earth’s Magnetic Field, GFZ, Telegrafenberg, Potsdam 14473, Germany e-mail: [email protected] We report magnetic field observations of the components transverse to the main field in the frequency range 1–25 Hz from times of equatorial plasma irregularity crossings. These field variations are interpreted as Alfvénic signatures accompanying intermed...
متن کاملSolar cycle dependent characteristics of the equatorial blanketing Es layers and associated irregularities
The occurrence of blanketing type Es (Esb) layers and associated E-region irregularities over the magnetic equatorial location of Trivandrum (8.5 N; 77 E; dip ∼0.5) during the summer solstitial months of May, June, July and August has been investigated in detail for the period 1986– 2000 to bring out the variabilities in their characteristics with the solar cycle changes. The study has been mad...
