Generation of a severe convective ionospheric storm under stable Rayleigh-Taylor conditions: triggering by meteors?
(European Geosciences Union, 2016-02)
Here we report on four events detected using the Jicamarca Radio Observatory (JRO) over an 18-year period, in which huge convective ionospheric storms (CISs) occur in a stable ionosphere. We argue that these rare events ...
Dynamical and magnetic field time constants for Titan's ionosphere: Empirical estimates and comparisons with Venus
(American Geophysical Union, 2010-10)
Plasma in Titan´s ionosphere flows in response to forcing from thermal pressure gradients, magnetic forces, gravity, and ion-neutral collisions. This paper takes an empirical approach to the ionospheric dynamics by using ...
Post-Storm Middle and Low-Latitude Ionospheric Electric Fields Effects
(Springer, 2016-12-05)
The Earth’s upper atmosphere and ionosphere undergoes large and complex perturbations during and after geomagnetic storms. Thermospheric winds driven by enhanced energy and momentum due to geomagnetic activity generate ...
Satellite traces, range spread-F occurrence, and gravity wave propagation at the southern anomaly crest
(Copernicus Publications, 2010-05)
Abstract. Range spread-F (RSF) and occurrence of "satellite" traces prior to RSF onset were studied at the southern peak of the ionospheric equatorial anomaly (EA). Ionograms recorded in September 2007 at the new ionospheric ...
Tackling ionospheric scintillation threat to GNSS in Latin America
(Edp Sciences S A, 2011-01-01)
Scintillations are rapid fluctuations in the phase and amplitude of transionospheric radio signals which are caused by small-scale plasma density irregularities in the ionosphere. In the case of the Global Navigation ...
Correcão ionosférica utilizando os MAPAS: Globais do TEC DO IGS: Avaliação no posicionamento por ponto na região brasileira
(2007-07-01)
One of the main drawbacks of the GPS accuracy for L1 users is the error due to ionosphere. This error depends on the total electron content presents in the ionosphere, as well as of the carrier frequency. Some models have ...

Possible ionospheric preconditioning by shear flow leading to equatorial spread F
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2005-10-14)
Vertical shear in the zonal plasma drift speed is apparent in incoherent and coherent scatter radar observations of the bottomside F region ionosphere made at Jicamarca from about 1600–2200 LT. The relative importance of ...
Electron density and temperature measurements in the cold plasma environment of Titan: Implications for atmospheric escape
(American Geophysical Union, 2010-10)
We present electron temperature and density measurements of Titan's cold ionospheric plasma from the Langmuir probe instrument on Cassini from 52 flybys. An expression of the density as a function of temperature is presented ...
