Triton: topside ionosphere and nitrogen escape.
The principal ion in the ionosphere of Triton is N+. Energetic electrons of magnetospheric origin are the primary source of ionization, with a smaller contribution due to photoionization. To explain the topside plasma scale height, we postulate that N+ ions escape from Triton. The loss rate is 3.4 x 10(7) cm-2 s-1 or 7.9 x 10(24) ions s-1. Dissociative recombination of N2+ produces neutral ...
متن کاملPLASMA TRANSPORT IN THE TOPSIDE VENUS IONOSPHERE R.w.scHuNK
Abeiraet-We have studied the extent to which certain transport processes affect ion composition and heat flow in the daytime, topside Venus ionosphere. Particular attention is given to the conditions that prevailed during the Mariner 5 measurements, at which time the topside Venus ionosphere appeared to be in a state of diffusive equilibrium. We have found that the ion composition is sensitive ...
متن کاملIon outflows and artificial ducts in the topside ionosphere at HAARP
[1] New results of the DMSP satellite and HAARP digisonde observations during HF heating at the High‐Frequency Active Auroral Program (HAARP) facility are described. For the first time, the DMSP satellites detected significant ion outflows associated with 10–30% density enhancements in the topside ionosphere above the heated region near the magnetic zenith. In addition, coincident high‐cadence ...
متن کاملDaytime altitude variations of the equatorial, topside magnetic fieldaligned ion transport at solar minimum
[1] Above the ion density peak, the interhemispheric transport of plasma plays an important role in shaping the spatial density distribution of the ionosphere. This study uses daytime observations of the ion drift, density, and composition near the geomagnetic equator from the Coupled Ion-Neutral Dynamics Investigation on board the Communication/Navigation Outage Forecasting System satellite, f...
متن کاملWN4 effect on longitudinal distribution of different ion species in the topside ionosphere at low latitudes by means of DEMETER, DMSP-F13 and DMSP-F15 data
Plasma probe data from DMSP-F13, DMSP-F15 and DEMETER satellites were used to examine longitudinal structures in the topside equatorial ionosphere during fall equinox conditions of 2004 year. Since the launch of DEMETER satellite on 29 June 2004, all these satellites operate close together in the topside ionosphere. Here, data taken from Special Sensor-Ion, Electron and Scintillations (SSIES) i...
