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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Comparison of zonal neutral winds with equatorial plasma bubble and plasma drift velocities
(American Geophysical Union, 2013-03-20)
A one-year dataset spanning March 2011-March 2012 of coincident observations of night time thermospheric zonal neutral winds, equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) velocities, and zonal plasma drifts are used to examine the ...
Simulation study of the influence of the ionospheric layer height in the thin layer ionospheric model
(Springer, 2011-04)
This work aims to contribute to the understanding of the influence of the ionospheric layer height (ILH) on the thin layer ionospheric model (TLIM) used to retrieve ionospheric information from the GNSS observations. ...
Unexpected connections between the stratosphere and ionosphere
(American Geophysical Union, 2010-05)
The coupling of the ionosphere to processes from below remains an elusive and difficult problem, as rapidly changing external drivers from above mask variations related to lower atmospheric sources. Here we use superposition ...
Modeling ionospheric super‐fountain effect based on the coupled TIMEGCM‐SAMI3
(American Geophysical Union, 2013-04-02)
Recently, efforts have been undertaken to develop a coupled thermosphere‐ionosphere‐plasmasphere model based on two well‐established models, namely, the Thermosphere‐Ionosphere‐Mesosphere General Circulation Model (TIMEGCM) ...
Ionospheric disturbances before and after the january 14, 2018 earthquake in Peru
(Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, 2019)
An earthquake of Mw 7.1 occurred on January 14, 2018 in the southern coast of Peru. In this study, public available Global Ionospheric Maps (GIMs) provided by the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) were used ...
