Geomagnetic storm and equatorial spread-F [PDF]
In August 2000, a new ionospheric sounding station was established at Sao Jose dos Campos (23.2° S, 45.9° W; dip latitude 17.6° S), Brazil, by the University of Vale do Paraiba (UNIVAP). Another ionospheric sounding station was established

Spread F – an old equatorial aeronomy problem finally resolved? [PDF]
One of the oldest scientific topics in Equatorial Aeronomy is related to Spread-F. It includes all our efforts to understand the physical mechanisms responsible for the existence of ionospheric F-region irregularities, the spread of the traces in a ...

On the Dynamics of Equatorial Spread F [PDF]
A theory is proposed to explain the occurrence of spread F in the equatorial ionosphere. It is envisaged as a multistage process involving: movement of ionization drift with atmospheric gravity waves that results in spatial resonance, consequent ...

HF radar observations of equatorial spread-F over West Africa [PDF]
New experimental data depicting equatorial spread-F were taken during an HF radar sounding campaign in Korhogo (Ivory Coast, 9°24N, 5°37W, dip 4°S). Range-time-intensity maps of the radar echoes have been analyzed to identify the signatures of density

Nocturnal and seasonal variations of equatorial spread-F
A new classification of spread-F echo patterns based on the relative amplitudes of the echoes is described and discussed. The results of nocturnal and seasonal variations in spread-F at Waltair are presented and a comparison is made with data of other equatorial stations with particular reference to that of Kodaikanal.

Upwelling: a unit of disturbance in equatorial spread F [PDF]
Plasma structure in the nighttime equatorial F layer, often referred to as equatorial spread F (ESF), is not uniformly distributed, either in time or in space.

Gravity wave initiation of equatorial spread F/plasma bubble irregularities based on observational data from the SpreadFEx campaign [PDF]
The data from ground based experiments conducted during the 2005 SpreadFEx campaign in Brazil are used, with the help of theoretical model calculations, to investigate the precursor conditions, and especially, the role of gravity waves, in the ...

Generation of large-scale equatorial F-region plasma depletions during lowrange spread-F season [PDF]
All-sky imaging observations of the F-region OI 630nm nightglow emission allow us to visualize large-scale equatorial plasma depletions, generally known as trans-equatorial plasma bubbles. Strong range type spread-F is the radio signature of these

Effect of equatorial ionization anomaly on the occurrence of spread-F [PDF]
The unique geometry of the geomagnetic field lines over the equatorial ionosphere coupled with the E-W electric field causes the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) and equatorial spread-F (ESF).
