Equatorial zonal plasma drifts measured by the C/NOFS satellite during the 2008–2011 solar minimum
(American Geophysical Union, 2013-06-26)
We use the measurements by the Vector Electric Field Investigation (VEFI) on board the Communication/Navigation Outage Forecasting System (C/NOFS) satellite to study the local time and seasonal‐ and longitudinal‐dependent ...
Morphology of the postsunset vortex in the equatorial ionospheric plasma drift
(American Geophysical Union, 2014-12-09)
The postsunset vortex in the equatorial ionosphere exhibits clockwise plasma motions after sunset in longitude (time) and altitude coordinates when the equatorial ionosphere is viewed looking northward. We describe the ...
Disturbance zonal and vertical plasma drifts in the Peruvian sector during solar minimum phases
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-02-11)
In the present work, we investigate the behavior of the equatorial F region zonal plasma drifts over the Peruvian region under magnetically disturbed conditions during two solar minimum epochs, one of them being the recent ...
The role of the zonal ExB plasma drift in the low-latitude ionosphere at high solar activity near equinox from a new three-dimensional theoretical model
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2006-10-20)
A new three-dimensional, time-dependent theoretical model of the Earth's low and middle latitude ionosphere and plasmasphere has been developed, to take into account the effects of the zonal E×B plasma drift on the electron ...
Radar studies of height-dependent equatorial F region vertical and zonal plasma drifts
(American Geophysical Union, 2019-03)
We present the results of an analysis of long-term measurements of ionospheric F region E × B plasma drifts in the American/Peruvian sector. The analysis used observations made between 1986 and 2017 by the incoherent scatter ...
Daytime zonal drifts in the ionospheric 150 km and E regions estimated using EAR observations
(American Geophysical Union, 2017-08-16)
Multibeam observations of the 150 km echoes made using the Equatorial Atmosphere Radar (EAR), located at Kototabang, Indonesia, provide unique opportunity to study both vertical and zonal E × B plasma drifts in the equatorial ...
Storm time equatorial plasma bubble zonal drift reversal due to disturbance Hall electric field over the Brazilian region
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-05-18)
The dynamics of equatorial ionospheric plasma bubbles over Brazilian sector during two magnetic storm events are investigated in this work. The observations were made at varying phases of magnetic disturbances when the ...
Climatology of F region zonal plasma drifts over Jicamarca
(American Geophysical Union, 2005-12)
We use extensive incoherent scatter radar observations made at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory between 1970 and 2003 to study and model empirically the equatorial zonal plasma drifts near the F region peak using Bernstein ...
The zonal motion of equatorial plasma bubbles relative to the background ionosphere
(American Geophysical Union, 2014-07-09)
The zonal motions of plasmas inside equatorial plasma bubbles are different from those in the background ionosphere. The difference was explained in terms of the tilt of bubbles by recent studies, but observational evidence ...
Daytime plasma drifts in the equatorial lower ionosphere
(American Geophysical Union, 2015-10-19)
We have used extensive radar measurements from the Jicamarca Observatory during low solar flux periods to study the quiet time variability and altitudinal dependence of equatorial daytime vertical and zonal plasma drifts. ...
