Scientific paper

In this study, we investigate the drivers of the nighttime climatology in the low- and middle-latitude ionosphere during quiet periods using the TIMED/GUVI and DMSP data. The observation results show that the seasonal hemispheric asymmetry in plasma density is primary induced by the summer-to-winter wind circulations while the longitudinal variations of the F-region morphology is produced by the contribution of the zonal winds that depends on the magnetic declination. However, the F-region morphology observed at 625 km from TIMED/GUVI does not precisely conform the morphology observed at 840 km from DMSP. We will discuss the differential neutral wind effect on the F-region morphology depending on the magnetic declination, altitude, and the location of the geomagnetic equator relative to the geographic equator.
