Space weather phenomena in the equatorial ionosphere [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2013
Our increasing dependence on space-based technological systems requires that we understand the factors that determine "space weather", which affects the operation of satellites as well as space-based communication and navigation systems. The latter are particularly vulnerable to conditions in the dip equatorial ionosphere where geometry of the ...

Spatial Relationship Between the Midlatitude Ionospheric Trough and Plasmaspheric Plumes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The plasmasphere, a subsystem of the complex geospace environment, is a torus of cold plasma “frozen” into Earth's magnetic field and sourced from the ionosphere. Plasmaspheric plumes–drainage channels formed during geospace storms–have primarily been observed near the equator.

Improved Ionospheric Correction for Dual Frequency and Differential GPS Positioning Methods [PDF]

, 2007
A new three dimensional (3-D) electron density model has been developed that can give a very accurate description of the real ionospheric variation; latitudinally,longitudinally and altitudinally.

Altitudinal Gradients of Plasma Drifts in The Equatorial Ionosphere

, 2014
The Earth\u27s ionosphere is the weakly ionized region of the upper atmosphere extending from about 90 km to 800 km. Electrodynamic processes driven by ionospheric electric fields can significantly affect the propagation of radiowaves used in ...

Is there a hole in the topside, equatorial ionosphere?

Results in Physics, 2016
AbstractA paper in 2000 (Huba, 2000) found a depression in electron density in the topside ionosphere near the magnetic equator, based on the SAMI-2 physical ionospheric model. The model showed, for the first time, the formation of a hole in electron density in the altitude range 1500–2500km at geomagnetic equatorial latitudes.

Statistics of Orientation of Nightside Auroral Arcs and Interplanetary Conditions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract We present statistics and dependence on interplanetary conditions of the orientation of nightside auroral arcs in the equatorward part of the auroral oval. The results related to the arcs essentially represent the orientation and dynamics of the equatorial boundary of the nightside auroral oval.

Responses of Field‐Aligned Currents and Equatorial Electrojet to Sudden Decrease of Solar Wind Dynamic Pressure During the March 2023 Geomagnetic Storm

Geophysical Research Letters
We present the observations of field‐aligned currents and the equatorial electrojet during the 23 March 2023 magnetic storm, focusing on the effect of the drastic decrease of the solar wind dynamic pressure occurred during the main phase.

Faint Diffuse 557.7‐nm Emissions Equatorward of the Auroral Oval: Conjugate Observations by Ground Airglow Imagers and the Arase Satellite

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract At subauroral latitudes, discrete auroras, such as strong thermal emission velocity enhancement and stable auroral red arcs, have been extensively studied. On the other hand, diffuse emissions at subauroral latitudes have not been studied well.

Modeling the effects of equatorial plasma bubbles on the oblique propagation of high-frequency electromagnetic waves

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The ionosphere, as an essential component of the Earth’s space environment, contains free electrons that influence the amplitude and phase of radio signals.

A Time‐Continuous Model of the 3D Ionospheric Current System and Associated Magnetic Fields in the Diurnal Variation Band

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Ionospheric currents and their associated magnetic perturbations are difficult to predict due to the high variability of their driving mechanisms. In addition, the 3D structure of the currents is challenging to unravel due to the lack of direct observations within the current flow region, particularly in the E $E$‐layer.
