Analysis of thermospheric density enhancement and observation of perturbations in the equatorial zone during a magnetic storm
Abstract
Satellite data on the response of the equatorial thermosphere to a magnetic storm are examined. It is found that an unexpected time lag occurs between the general enhancement of thermospheric density and the development of perturbations, with the former effect taking place first.
