Scientific paper

All-sky imaging systems at Arecibo, Puerto Rico (18.3° N, 66.7° W, + 28° mag lat) and Mercedes, Argentina (34.57° S, 59.41° W, - 24.56° mag lat), close to the Arecibo geomagnetic conjugate point, are used to study conjugate processes in the low and mid latitude ionosphere. For the first time in the American sector the simultaneous occurrence in both hemispheres of medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) has been observed. Another all-sky imager located to the west of Mercedes, at the El Leoncito Observatory (31.8° S, 69.3° W, - 18° mag lat), is used to enhance the longitudinal coverage to observe thermospheric/ionospheric structures. This configuration provides a unique capability to study low and mid latitude ionospheric processes in the American sector occurring more than 5000 km apart in latitude. It also allows the study, in conjunction with GPS and in-situ satellite data, of the formation and evolution of ionospheric structures spanning ~3000 km in longitude.
