摘要: Rapid-run ionosonde installed in the high-latitude Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory enables us to observe for first time extraordinary details of E-F region coupling process ionosphere during geomagnetically quiet period. We present an example on 15 August 2009 when a dense, patchy sporadic E layer was detected. Associated with this unstable layer, exhibiting addition unusual enhancement vertical extent about 10 km, highly structured F plasma observed apparent depletions. examine event taking into account presence mesoscale traveling ionospheric disturbances which can initiate between these two regions and compare data current theories.
