2415 Equatorial Ionosphere

Scientific paper

The GPS occultation method of ionospheric remote sensing provide a means to obtain information about the low- density nighttime E-region, particularly under conditions when sharp sporadic-E layers are present. E-region conductivity is an important factor in the development of low-latitude dynamo electric fields and the associated uplift of the equatorial ionosphere known as the pre-reversal enhancement. GPS occultation measurements made by the Ionospheric Occultation Experiment (IOX) under solar maximum conditions and by the recently launched six-satellite COSMIC constellation under solar minimum conditions can be used to develop a climatology of the post-sunset E-region. Initial results of a study involving these data sets will be presented.
