Outline Broad Plasma Decreases (BPDs) in C/NOFS PLP – description Detrending C/NOFS PLP plasma densities - procedure Statistical analysis of detrended plasma densities for June 2008 GRACE neutral density residuals for June

Communication/Navigation Outage Forecast System Launched May 2008 into low-inclination orbit Goal is forecasting of scintillation 5 experiments –Planar Langmuir Probe –Vector Electric Field Investigation –Ion Velocity Monitor / Neutral Wind Monitor –RF Beacon –GPS

4 Simultaneous Broad Plasma Decreases C/NOFS and DMSP 22 – 23 UT, 19 June 2008 C/NOFS BPD: Altitude 400 – 450 km, width 5 hrs LT DMSP BPD: Altitude 840 km, width 30  latitude [Huang et al., 2009, GRL]

Detrend C/NOFS Plasma Densities Variations in plasma density obscured by changing orbital altitude Detrend PLP densities using IRI (ver ) as follows: N det = N(PLP) * (IRI(500)/IRI(C/NOFS)) N(PLP) is the density measured by PLP along the orbit; IRI (500) is the model value at 500 km, at the equator, at C/NOFS longitude, UT, DOY etc.; IRI (C/NOFS) is the model value at C/NOFS location, UT, DOY etc. Use 1-minute averages of PLP densities Result - densities all mapped to 500 km altitude, equator Plots show density as function of geographic longitude 5

Nightside Detrended Plasma Densities June  IRI  PLP

Ionospheric Tidal Structures PLP data analyzed from May 2008 to December 2009 Climatology of tidal structures similar to planetary wave climatology (strongest in June – August, weakest around December – January) Other C/NOFS experiments show similar wave-4 structures (electric fields, ion drifts,  n/n)

12 June 2008 Plasma and Neutral Densities LT Sector

Summary Detrended PLP densities show tidal structures, most obvious on dayside Deep minimum persists on nightside around 330  (SAA) Climatology of plasma tides agrees with planetary wave source GRACE averaged neutral densities also show tidal structures Ion/neutral tides do not coincide! 13
