Abstract This study reconstructs a multistep gravity wave (GW) pathway, from the generation of primary GWs by deep convection in the troposphere to the generation of secondary GWs that drive semi‐concentric medium‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) in the ionosphere, during the record‐breaking heavy rainfall over Kyushu, Japan, in August

Effects of sudden commencement on the ionosphere: PFISR observations and global MHD simulation
Sudden commencement (SC) induced by solar wind pressure enhancement can produce significant global impact on the coupled magnetosphere‐ionosphere (MI) system, and its effects have been studied extensively using ground magnetometers and coherent scatter ...

Solar wind Alfvén waves: a source of pulsed ionospheric convection and atmospheric gravity waves [PDF]
A case study of medium-scale travelling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) that are correlated with solar wind Alfvén waves is presented. The HF radar ground-scatter signatures of TIDs caused by atmospheric gravity waves with periods of 20-40min are

Cosmic Ray Anisotropy Generated by the June 22nd 2015 Interplanetary Events
Abstract On 22 June 2015, the near Earth interplanetary space was perturbed by a series of high‐speed streamers and interplanetary coronal mass ejections associated with an active region and two low‐latitude coronal holes. The interaction of these disturbances gave rise to the complex solar wind structure observed at 1 au.

Abstract Trans‐ionospheric high frequency (HF: 3–30 MHz) response to atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) is studied in the middle‐latitude ionosphere in relation to thunderstorm activity. SuperDARN HF radar observations are compared against the model simulations to quantify the impact of GW‐generated medium‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTID ...

Artificial optical emissions at HAARP for pump frequencies near the third and second electron gyro-harmonic [PDF]
International audienceHigh-power high-frequency radio waves beamed into the ionosphere cause plasma turbulence, which can accelerate electrons. These electrons collide with the F-layer neutral oxygen causing artificial optical emissions identical to ...
