Packet of medium-scale wave fluctuations of nocturnal middle-latitude outer ionosphere electron concentration based on Intercosmos-10 data
Abstract
An attempt is made to trace changes in a narrow packet of medium scale wave disturbances in the outer nocturnal ionosphere at middle latitudes with latitude based on measurements made by the Intercosmos-10 satellite. Heterogeneities had a characteristic size of a few hundred kilometers. The intensity of the heterogeneities was found to decrease with increasing latitude.
