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 ...
Stormtime dynamics of the global thermosphere and equatorial ionosphere
(European Geosciences Union, 2009-05-05)
During magnetic storms the development of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) and distributions of thermospheric densities are strongly influenced by the histories of imposed magnetospheric electric (εM) fields. Periods of ...
Towards forecasting and mitigating ionospheric scintillation effects on GNSS
(Ieee, 2007-01-01)
The effect of the ionosphere on the signals of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as the Global Positionig System (GPS) and the proposed European Galileo, is dependent on the ionospheric electron density, ...
Storm-time equatorial thermospheric dynamics and electrodynamics
(Utah State University, 2020)
It presents the first comprehensive study of the equatorial thermospheric dynamics and ionospheric electrodynamics over Peru following enhanced energy depositions into the high-latitude ionosphere during geomagnetic storms. ...
Solar-wind magnetosphere effects in the middle and low latitude ionosphere
(2004-01-01)
Ionospheric electric fields play fundamental roles in the dynamics of the Earth's ionosphere and thermosphere. Enhanced geomagnetic activity has long been known to cause large ionospheric electric field and current ...
Equatorial spread-F initiation: Post-sunset vortex, thermospheric winds, gravity waves
(Elsevier, 2007-12)
We present experimental evidence and modeling results which indicate that eastward thermospheric wind is the primary controlling factor of equatorial spread-F initiation in the post-sunset ionosphere. Eastward wind-driven ...
Comparative study of the equatorial ionosphere over Jicamarca during recent two solar minima
(American Geophysical Union, 2012-01-21)
It is a critical issue that whether or not the extremely deep solar minimum of solar cycle 23/24 brought serious influences on the Earth's space environment. In this study, we collected and manually scaled the ionograms ...
Simultaneous 6300 Å airglow and radar observations of ionospheric irregularities and dynamics at the geomagnetic equator
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2018-03-22)
In March 2014 an all-sky imager (ASI) was installed at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory (11.95°S, 76.87°W; 0.3°S MLAT). We present results of equatorial spread F (ESF) characteristics observed at Jicamarca and at low ...
Quiet-time variations of F2-layer parameters at Jicamarca and comparison with IRI-2001 during solar minimum
(Elsevier, 2008)
We analyze Jicamarca ionograms to study the quiet-condition variations in the peak electron density (NmF2), its height (hmF2), and F2-layer thickness parameter (B0) of the equatorial F2 layer during solar minimum. The ...
