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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
Enhanced lunar semidiurnal equatorial vertical plasma drifts during sudden stratospheric warmings
(American Geophysical Union, 2011-11-15)
Large scale electrodynamic and plasma density variations in the low latitude ionosphere have recently been associated with sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events. We present empirical models of largely enhanced lunar ...
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 ...
Theory and observation of ionospheric plasma fluctuation dynamics
(1984-01)
Our intention in this paper is to give an introduction of the theory and practice of the Ionospheric Scatter Technique, with emphasis on the contributions it has, and it can make, in the more general field of Plasma Physics ...
Imaging radar observations and nonlocal theory of large-scale plasma waves in the equatorial electrojet
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2002)
Large-scale (λ∼1 km) waves in the daytime and nighttime equatorial electrojet are studied using coherent scatter radar data from Jicamarca. Images of plasma irregularities within the main beam of the radar are formed using ...
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 ...
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 ...
