Seasonal variations of equatorial spread-F [PDF]
The occurrence of spread-F at Trivandrum (8.5°N, 77°E, dip 0.5°N) has been investigated on a seasonal basis in sunspot maximum and minimum years in terms of the growth rate of irregularities by the generalized collisional Rayleigh-Taylor (GRT ...

A new mode for two dimensional observations of F-region irregularities in the magnetic equatorial plane using AMISR-14 is described. Examples of observations are presented and illustrate the ability of the system to capture the genesis, evolution, and ...

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

Typical equatorial spread-F events are often said to occur during post-sunset, equinox conditions in most longitude sectors. Recent studies, however, have found an unexpected high occurrence of ionospheric F-region irregularities during June solstice ...

Seasonal variations of equatorial spread-
The occurrence of spread-F at Trivandrum (8.5°N, 77°E, dip 0.5°N) has been investigated on a seasonal basis in sunspot maximum and minimum years in terms of the growth rate of irregularities by the generalized collisional Rayleigh-Taylor (GRT) instability mechanism which includes the gravitational and cross-field instability terms.

Letter to the Editor: Post-midnight onset of spread-F at Kodaikanal during the June solstice of solar minimum [PDF]
At dip equatorial stations in the Indian zone, spread-F conditions are known to develop preferentially around midnight during the June solstice (northern summer) months of low solar activity, in association with a distinct increase in F layer height ...

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 ...

A numerical simulation of the non‐linear evolution of the collisional Rayleigh‐Taylor instability using a set of equations appropriate for the equatorial F region ionosphere has been performed. Our results show that the irregularities produced by the instability grow on the bottomside of the F region peak, as predicted by linear theory, and then the ...
