Day-to-Day Variability of Swarm Electron Density Residuals – Ionospheric “Weather”

Quantifying the Variability: Periodicities in Time and Longitude distinct peaks eastward- and westward-propagating waves significant differences in latitude and local time

Quantifying the Variability: Separating Responses due to Forcing from “Above” and “Below” Kp and F10.7 spectra for Dec 2013-May 2014 Kp peaks near 6d and 10d also characteristic of PW Kp peaks possibly connected with recurrent geomagnetic activity due to high-speed streams and coronal hole distribution.

CONCLUSIONS Swarm reveals significant day-to-day variability, or ionospheric weather, in plasma densities at low to middle latitudes. Much of this variability is due to plasma drifts driven by tidal and planetary wave winds, either indirectly through dynamo generation or directly through collisional transport along B-field lines. Care must be taken to account for variability at PW periods (2-20 days) due to recurrent geomagnetic activity (~7d, 9d, 13.5d) or solar ionizing flux due to rotation of the Sun (~13.5d, 27d). The combined availability of electron densities, plasma drifts, perturbation magnetic fields and neutral densities from Swarm will enable an integrated self-consistent perspective on atmosphere-ionosphere coupling due to tides and PW. The same data will serve to challenge first-principles models of the atmosphere-ionosphere system.
