Proposal Type: General Category: Sub-Category: Observation Category: Total Time Requested: Minimum Useful Time: Prop osal Title: ABSTRACT:
Apparent Medium Scale Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances (MSTID) wave structures of around 1 hour period are seen to be nearly continuously present in Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) power profiles at Arecibo Observatory (AO) [Livneh et al., 2009]. We propose to investigate the manifestation of ~ hour quasi-periodic structures observed 1 in the F region using ISR and optical instruments at Arecibo. The investigation requires the simultaneous measurements of electron concentration in E and F region of ionosphere, lidar metal concentration, and airglow imaging observations using 630.0 and 557.7 nm airglow emission. We request two 12 hour overnight observing runs during moonless and clear sky nights.
