Abstract: In this paper, we study the 10 traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) observed at zobs∼283 km by the TIDDBIT ionospheric sounder on 30 October 2007 at 0400-0700 UT near Wallops Island, USA. These TIDs propagated northwest/northward,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023gl107110
Abstract: First results are presented from the conjugate maneuvers performed by NASA's Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) spacecraft. During each several‐minute maneuver, ICON crosses the magnetic equator, measuring the plasma drift at the ∼600‐km apex of a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023sw003670
Abstract: Large vertical shears in the E‐region neutral zonal winds can lead to ion convergences and contribute to plasma irregularities, but climatological studies of vertical shears of horizontal winds in a global scale are lacking due… read more here.
