چکیده انگلیسی
This paper is focused on unusual nighttime impulsive electron density enhancements that are rarely observed at low latitudes on a wide region of South America, under quiet and medium/high geomagnetic conditions. The phenomenon under investigation is very peculiar because besides being of brief duration, it is characterized by a pronounced compression of the ionosphere. The phenomenon was studied and analyzed using both the F2 layer critical frequency (foF2) and the virtual height of the base of the F region (hâ²F) values recorded at five ionospheric stations widely distributed in space, namely: Jicamarca (â12.0°, â76.8°, magnetic latitude â2.0°), Peru; Sao Luis (â2.6°, â44.2°, magnetic latitude +6.2°), Cachoeira Paulista (â22.4°, â44.6°, magnetic latitude â13.4°), and São José dos Campos (â23.2°, â45.9°, magnetic latitude â14.1°), Brazil; Tucumán (â26.9°, â65.4°, magnetic latitude â16.8°), Argentina. In a more restricted region over Tucumán, the phenomenon was also investigated by the total electron content (TEC) maps computed by using measurements from 12 GPS receivers. A detailed analysis of isoheight ionosonde plots suggests that traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) caused by gravity wave (GW) propagation could play a significant role in causing the phenomenon both for quiet and for medium/high geomagnetic activity; in the latter case however a recharging of the fountain effect, due to electric fields penetrating from the magnetosphere, joins the TID propagation and plays an as much significant role in causing impulsive electron density enhancements.
