![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Solar terminator and auroral sources for traveling ionospheric disturbances in the midlatitude F region Solar terminator and auroral sources for traveling ionospheric disturbances in the midlatitude F region](/preview/png/1777010.png)
The occurrence of Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (TIDs) at a midlatitude location (London, Canada, 43°N, 81°W) has been examined using data recorded by standard 5 min ionograms during the year 2000. It is found that the dominant source of TIDs during daytime appears to be the sunrise terminator but during nighttime the sunset terminator and magnetic disturbances both contribute to the TIDs. The daytime TIDs show a weak semiannual variation with maxima in solstices. The nighttime TIDs show insignificant annual variation.
► Traveling ionospheric disturbances are generated by both solar terminators.
► The sunrise terminator, TIDs, are the dominant daytime midlatitude TIDs.
► During nighttime, at 54° magnitude latitude, we also see TIDs from auroral activity when Kp > 3.
