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

According to the so-called upwelling paradigm, development of equatorial plasma bubbles
(EPBs) involves (1) appearance of an upwelling (ie, local uplift with a zonal width of~ 400 …

We present here a brief review of recent results related to the response of the major
phenomena of the equatorial ionosphere-thermosphere system (EITS) to magnetospheric …

The need to nowcast and forecast scintillation for the support of operational systems has
been recently identified by the interagency National Space Weather Program. This issue is …

Observational studies of airglow and aurora from the ground under fully sunlit conditions in
the visible spectral range remain possibly one of the last frontiers in optical aeronomy. In the …
