Scientific paper

The Arecibo Observatory (18.35 N, 66.75 W) can now measure the ionosphere with two antenna beams simultaneously. In June 2002, this new capability was used for the first time to investigate north/south gradients of elctron temperature and electron density. The experiments yielded some unexpected results. In particular,large horizontal north/south gradients in the electron temperature of the ionospheric F-region were observed during the early morning that persisted for hours. In addition to electron temperatures, we also examined north/south electron density gradients looking for - and finding -- evidence of Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances.
