Scientific paper

During the 2006 and 2007 launch windows for the Storms sounding rocket experiment, the Wallops Island digisonde made nightly observations at a 5-minute cadence. Six out of the 30 nights of observations contained spread-F traces that lasted for more than 30 minutes. Each of these events varied in duration, range spread, and onset time. Additionally, the events occurred during different levels of geomagnetic activity and tropospheric conditions. The more intense range spreading and longer duration spreading events tend to correspond to higher geomagnetic activity conditions. This talk will present a brief introduction to mid-latitude spread-F, its formation theories, and possible sources of forcing. The remainder of the talk will focus on several of the cases that represent Spread-F resulting from geomagnetic activity induced TIDs and tropospheric weather induced gravity waves.
