  1. Seasonal dependence of the nighttime traveling ionospheric disturbances in the mid-latitude ionosphere A．Saito1,2,M.C. Kelley1, T. Tsugawa2, J.J. Makela1, Y. Otsuka3, and S. Miyazaki4 • School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cornell University • Department of Geophysics, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University • Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory, Nagoya University • Geographical Survey Institute • A GPS network in Japan has detected TEC wave fronts that travel to the southwest in the nighttime. Medium-scale traveling ionosphere disturbances (MSTIDs) • Local time, seasonal, latitudinal and solar cycle dependencies of these MSTIDs

  2. Standard deviation of TEC over the MU radar: amplitude of MSTIDsMay 16-24, 1998 Geomagnetic Activity:SKp SKp:19 17+ 17 11- 18 22 14- 20- 21

  8. SummaryMedium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances in the midlatitude ionosphere detected with total electron content observation by GPS receivers. • Propagation velocity:100m/s, wavelength: 300km • Nighttime: Southwestward propagation, Summer and Winter • Daytime: Southward (south-southeastward) propagation, Winter • Daytime peak is common at any longitudes. Nighttime peaks show longitudinal differences. • Day-to-day variation: No geomagnetic activity dependency • Low amplitude in the high solar activity period • Amplitude of nighttime TID is large at lower latitudes. [CGM-Lat: 20-40 degrees]
