Ionospheric flow during extended intervals of northward but BY-dominated IMF [PDF]
We present SuperDARN radar observations of the nightside high-latitude ionospheric flow during two 6-hour intervals of quasi-steady northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF).

Coordinated optical and radar observations of ionospheric pumping for a frequency pass through the second electron gyroharmonic at HAARP [PDF]
On 4 February 2005, the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility was operated in O and X mode while pointing into the magnetic zenith to produce artificial optical emissions in the ionospheric F layer. The pump frequency was set to

Mesoscale Plasma Convection Perturbations in the High‐Latitude Ionosphere [PDF]
AbstractAn investigation of flow perturbations with spatial scale sizes between 100 and 500 km in the high‐latitude ionosphere is presented. These localized flow perturbations are deviations from the large‐scale background convection, expected to give us new insights into the magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling process.

Azimuthal magnetic fields in saturn's magnetosphere: Effects associated with plasma sub-corotation and the magnetopause-tail current system [PDF]
We calculate the azimuthal magnetic fields expected to be present in Saturn’s magnetosphere associated with two physical effects, and compare them with the fields observed during the flybys of the two Voyager spacecraft.

Inferring the Evolution of a Large Earthquake From Its Acoustic Impacts on the Ionosphere
We investigate the possibility to constrain the evolution of the 2016 M7.8 Kaikoura earthquake evolution based on Global Positioning System signal‐derived ionospheric total electron content (TEC) perturbations, that represent plasma responses to ...

Ionospheric electron heating, optical emissions, and striations induced by powerful HF radio waves at high latitudes: Aspect angle dependence [PDF]
In recent years, large electron temperature increases of 300% (3000 K above background) caused by powerful HF-radio wave injection have been observed during nighttime using the EISCAT incoherent scatter radar near Tromsø in northern Norway.

The occurrence of plasma irregularities and ionospheric scintillation over the Caribbean region have been reported in previous studies, but a better understanding of the source and conditions leading to these events is still needed.

Temporal Characteristic of the Mesoscale Plasma Flow Perturbations in the High‐Latitude Ionosphere [PDF]
AbstractSpatial and temporal characteristics of flow perturbations in the high‐latitude ionosphere are important considerations for energy deposition from the magnetosphere. In this study, we examine the temporal characteristics of plasma flow perturbations with spatial scales between 100 and 400 km from two consecutive Defense Meteorological Satellite

Localized fast flow disturbance observed in the plasma sheet and in the ionosphere [PDF]
An isolated plasma sheet flow burst took place at 22:02 UT, 1 September 2002, when the Cluster footpoint was located within the area covered by the Magnetometers-Ionospheric Radars-All-sky Cameras Large Experiment (MIRACLE). The event was associated with

Ionospheric response to magnetar flare: signature of SGR J1550–5418 on coherent ionospheric Doppler radar [PDF]
This paper presents observational evidence of frequent ionospheric perturbations caused by the magnetar flare of the source SGR J1550–5418, which took place on 22 January 2009.
