The present study investigates the characteristics of ionospheric irregularities at middle latitudes by examining the association between spread F (SF) events detected by Digisondes and medium-scale travelling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) detected ...

Estimation of Planar Trend Model Parameters for Midlatitude Ionosphere
AbstractBeing under influence of the polar and equatorial regions, the midlatitude ionosphere poses an important challenge in structural modeling. In this study, the general understanding of regional planar trend model is investigated for 2011 by estimation of trend coefficients in the least squares sense.

AbstractSpatiotemporal variability of ionosphere poses a major challenge in characterization of observable parameters, critical frequency of F2 layer (foF2), maximum ionization height (hmF2), total electron content (TEC), and slab thickness. The nature of the multiscale space‐time variability of ionosphere can be modeled as a random field.

Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances in the Vicinity of Storm-Enhanced Density at Midlatitudes. [PDF]
AbstractThis study provides first storm time observations of the westward‐propagating medium‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs), particularly, associated with characteristic subauroral storm time features, storm‐enhanced density (SED), subauroral polarization stream (SAPS), and enhanced thermospheric westward winds over the continental ...

On the Electric Fields Produced by Dipolar Coulomb Charges of an Individual Thundercloud in the Ionosphere [PDF]
In this paper we study the transmission of the electrostatic field due to coulomb charges of an individual thundercloud into the midlatitude ionosphere, taking into account the total geomagnetic field integrated Pedersen conductivity of the ionosphere.

The spatiotemporal development of the midlatitude troughs and subauroral ion drift during a geomagnetic storm observed by multiple DMSP satellites [PDF]
Subauroral ion drift (SAID) is a narrow and rapid westward ion flow observed in the subauroral ionosphere during geomagnetic storms and substorms.

Effects of Solar Wind Variations on the Midlatitude Ionosphere [PDF]
It is known that the solar wind has significant effect on the magnetospheric convection and that magnetospheric electric fields can penetrate into the midlatitude and low‐latitude ionosphere. In this paper, we present observations of midlatitude ionospheric plasma perturbations during two events.

On the Coupling of Layer Instabilities in the Nighttime Midlatitude Ionosphere [PDF]
There are two plasma‐structuring mechanisms that are known to operate at night in the midlatitude ionosphere, the Perkins instability (Perkins, 1973) in the F region, and the more recently discovered sporadic‐ E layer ( E

Evidence for the Magnetoionic Nature of Oblique VHF Reflections from Midlatitude Sporadic-E Layers
Mid-latitude sporadic-E (Es) is an intermittent phenomenon of the lower E region of the ionosphere. Es clouds are thin, transient, and patchy layers of intense ionization, with ionization densities which can be much higher than in the background ...

More evidence for a planetary wave link with midlatitude E region coherent backscatter and sporadic E layers [PDF]
Measurements of midlatitude E region coherent backscatter obtained during four summers with SESCAT, a 50 MHz Doppler system operating in Crete, Greece, and concurrent ionosonde recordings from the same ionospheric volume obtained with a CADI for one ...
