An Investigation of the Seasonal Variation of Equatorial Electrodynamics and Scintillation Using a Coupled Atmosphere-Ionosphere Model

Abstract

The goal of this work is to determine the physical processes responsible for the observed seasonal patterns in the occurrence and intensity of scintillation in the Earth's low-latitude ionosphere. An improved understanding of the physics will result in more sophisticated modeling and forecasting tools that will benefit the Navy.
