Following a brief history and progress of ionospheric research, this paper presents a brief
review of the recent developments in the understanding of two major phenomena in low and …

Over the last few years, experimental and numerical modeling studies have provided
extensive new information on the electrodynamics of the low-latitude ionosphere. Ground …

We use radar observations from the Jicamarca Observatory from 1968 to 1992 to study the
effects of the F region vertical plasma drift velocity on the generation and evolution of …

In a test of the generally accepted Rayleigh‐Taylor (R‐T) instability mechanism for
equatorial spread F (ESF), a linear instability growth rate γRT is derived following the …

Dynamic coupling of the atmospheric regions involving upward energy transport coupled
with the locally active thermal tidal modes establish the wind system of the thermosphere …

The importance of diffusion, perpendicular electrodynamic drift, and neutral wind on the
generation and modulation of the equatorial plasma fountain of the Earth's ionosphere is …

The equatorial plasma fountain and equatorial anomaly in the ionospheres over Jicamarca
(77° W), Trivandrum (77° E), and Fortaleza (38° W) are presented using the Sheffield …

Weather disturbances in the ionosphere-thermosphere system can have a detrimental effect
on both ground-based and space-based systems. Because of this impact and because our …

The neutral winds in the E and F regions are the drivers of the low‐latitude ionospheric
current system and observed electric field structure. A flux‐tube‐integrated model of …

A physical mechanism and the location and latitudinal extent of an additional layer, called
the F3 layer, that exists in the equatorial ionosphere are presented. A statistical analysis of …
