Journal ArticleDOI
DMSP observations of equatorial plasma bubbles in the topside ionosphere near solar maximum
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined a large database of postsunset plasma density measurements acquired during ∼ 15,000 equatorial crossings made by DMSP F9 and F10 in 1989 and 1991, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Onset conditions for equatorial spread F
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used multidisciplinary observations and semi-empirical modeling to study the day-to-day variability in the occurrence of equatorial spread F (ESF).
Journal ArticleDOI
Ionospheric disturbances observed by DMSP at middle to low latitudes during the magnetic storm of June 4–6, 1991
William J. Burke,Allen G. Rubin,N. C. Maynard,L. C. Gentile,Peter J. Sultan,Frederick J. Rich,O. de la Beaujardiere,Cheryl Y. Huang,Gordon R. Wilson +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend a recent study of electric field penetration into the inner magnetosphere observed by the Combined Release and Radiation Effects (CRRES) satellite and the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellite F8 during the magnetic storm of June 4-6, 1991, to consider its ionospheric consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 27-day variations of plasma densities and temperatures in the topside ionosphere
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare in situ densities with simultaneous observations of total electron content but find that similar variations are not present in a consistent manner and conclude that the variations exist mostly as topside phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observations and modeling of the coupled latitude-altitude patterns of equatorial plasma depletions
Michael Mendillo,Eftyhia Zesta,Sheela Shodhan,Peter J. Sultan,R. A. Doe,Yogeshwar Sahai,Jeffrey Baumgardner +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the process of mapping airglow depletions along geomagnetic field lines to the equatorial plane, hence defining the maximum apex heights achieved.
