Scientific paper

A Fourier transformation applied to two-dimensional equations is used to analyze the behavior of wave fluctuations in total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere above equatorial regions. Attention is given to zonally aligned waves resulting from the usual equatorial atmospheric dynamics, e.g., the equatorial electrojet, the terminator, and the neutral wind. Crests and troughs of the waves should, according to theory, lie in a narrow line, and produce a small range of observable periods, but empirical data is thus far inconclusive. It is suggested that eastward propagation waves are the dominant mode in the area studied, and that experiments be conducted to evaluate the waves along an eastward line-of-sight.
