Journal ArticleDOI
Field-aligned E-region irregularities identified with acoustic plasma waves
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the irregularities are most likely to consist of plane acoustic waves generated by an instability resulting from the flow of current in the electrojets, and the characteristics of auroral radar echoes are shown to be similar to those of the equatorial echoes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary Irregularities in the Equatorial Electrojet
Robert Cohen,Kenneth L. Bowles +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first-order two-stream theory was used to account for the plasma-wave irregularities produced by an equatorial electrojet at oblique angles of incidence, and the spectral width obtained at vertical incidence was shown to be narrow for a weak electrojet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radio echoes from field‐aligned ionization above the magnetic equator and their resemblance to auroral echoes
TL;DR: In this article, an intense mode of VHF propagation associated with equatorial sporadic E was found to occur and was demonstrated to be closely identifiable in time-variation and height with the equatorial electrojet.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of plane-wave electron-density irregularities with the equatorial electrojet
Robert Cohen,Kenneth L. Bowles +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the irregularities are spatially and temporally correlated with the equatorial electrojet and that there are temporal correlations between the intensity of radio waves scattered from the irregularities associated with the irregularities and the horizontal intensity of the earth's magnetic field, a measure of the electrojet current.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the nature of equatorial spread F
Robert Cohen,Kenneth L. Bowles +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that equatorial spread F is caused by relatively thin sheets of irregularities in electron density which occur at the bottom of the F layer or as much as 100 km lower.
