Collisional Rayleigh-Taylor instability and shear-flow in equatorial Spread-F plasma [PDF]
, 2003 International audienceCollisional Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability is considered in the bottom side of the equatorial F-region. By a novel nonmodal calculation it is shown that for an applied shear flow in equilibrium, the growth of the instability is ...

Seasonal variations of equatorial spread-F [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1994 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 ...

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

HF radar observations of equatorial spread-F over West Africa [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1996 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

Morphology of quantified ionospheric range spread-F over a wide range of midlatitudes in the Australian longitudinal sector [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2007 Ionograms from a standard vertical-incidence ionosonde chain (nine stations), obtained over a wide range of southern latitudes (in geom.lat. range: 23°–52° S), were digitally scanned at 5-min intervals at nighttime (18:00–06:00 LT)
