Upwelling: a unit of disturbance in equatorial spread F [PDF]

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2015
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.

On the seeding of equatorial spread F by gravity waves [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2013
AbstractThe Naval Research Laboratory three‐dimensional simulation code SAMI3/ESF is used to study the response of the postsunset ionosphere to plane gravity waves. The effect of the vertical wind component of the wave is included as well as the effect of the background vertical wind, which can suppress equatorial spread F (ESF).

Spread F – an old equatorial aeronomy problem finally resolved? [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2009
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 ...

Predicting Equatorial Spread F at JICAMARCA Sector Via Supervised Machine Learning

open access: yesSpace Weather
The nighttime equatorial spread‐F (ESF) occurrence is essential to cause disturbances of the trans‐ionospheric radio wave signals. Previous research has successfully modeled the probability or growth rate of ESF, but remains deficient in distinguishing ...

Effect of equatorial ionization anomaly on the occurrence of spread-F [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 1997
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).

Equatorial spread F fossil plumes [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2010
Behaviour of equatorial spread F (ESF) fossil plumes, i.e., ESF plumes that have stopped rising, is examined using the NRL SAMI3/ESF three-dimensional simulation code.

The Effect of Equatorial Spread F on Relative Orbit Determination of GRACE Using Differenced GPS Observations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2009
In this paper, relative orbit of Low Earth Orbit satellites is determined using only GPS measurements and the effects of Equatorial Spread-F (ESF), that is one of biggest ionospheric irregularities, are investigated.

Assessing the potential of ionosonde for forecasting post-sunset equatorial spread F: an observational experiment in Southeast Asia

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2023
The occurrence of equatorial spread F (ESF) has the potential to detrimentally impact space-based technological systems. This study investigates the utility of ionosondes in forecasting the incidence of post-sunset ESF in the zonal direction, utilizing ...
