Scientific paper

The paper examines large-scale Rossby-wave disturbances of the neutral atmosphere with a small admixture of ionospheric plasma in the case when the effects of Coriolis force, ion deceleration, and magnetic twisting are important. The spatial and temporal damping of the wave disturbances is analyzed by solving the stationary and nonstationary vortex equations. It is shown that the spatial-temporal damping of these disturbances in the ionosphere occurs at heights above 100 km in the daytime and at heights above 200 km at night. This damping increases significantly with height and depends on the zonal-flow velocity. The increase in this velocity, amplifying the Coriolis effect, counters the damping and disappearance of the Rossby waves.
