Interpretation of single-site scintillation measurements to estimate F-region drift velocities
Abstract
A method of estimating ionospheric drift velocities using single-site scintillation measurements is applied to determine a correlation coefficient of 0.55 between magnetic activity and F-region drift velocity near the auroral ionosphere. This method is based on the relationship between the drift velocity and the scintillation spectral breakpoint.
