A study of quasi-16-day ionospheric oscillations

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

A quasi-16-day oscillation has been found in measurements of ionospheric parameters and geomagnetic field strength in winter 1988. Data obtained from numerous magnetometers show that this oscillation is a global event. The horizontal phase velocities in the E- and F-regions of the middle latitudes demonstrate that the oscillation is a westward-traveling wave. The downward phase velocity and upward group velocity indicate that the oscillation source is located in the lower atmosphere.
