Scientific paper

Results from the 2004 EQUIS II low-latitude sounding rocket campaign are reported. The two nighttime electrodynamics instrumented rockets each carried multiple-sensor ionization gauges (IGs) to investigate the structure of the neutral atmosphere associated with an active, unstable nighttime E-region ionosphere. These measurements are used to understand the plasma-neutral interactions in this environment and their role in the production of irregularities. The primary goals of the IG instrumentation are to characterize the neutral density profile (and thus the temperature profile), the variations in neutral density, and wind shears. These measurements are used to understand the roles played by gravity waves, turbulence, wind shear, and atmospheric instability in the production of the ionospheric irregularities. Preliminary analysis shows the presence of wind shears near the layers of waves observed by the rocket-borne electric field experiment.
