Title: Meteorological effects observed in the D-region of the equatorial ionosphere

Conference · · Adv. Space Res.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5515323

Electron density values were measured during morning hours over Thumba. The results show that electron density in mesosphere is more during summer than during winter for some solar zenith angle. The temperature measurements carried out on the same day during night hours show that mesosphere is hotter in winter and cooler in summer over Thumba. The electron density and temperature are anti-correlated. The results are explained in terms of temperature effects and other meteorological effects.
