27 PLP measured responses during (Orbit 878) and after (Orbit 879) the CIR excited AE disturbance. As time passed, 100 km (EPB) scale structures coalesced into a single large > 1000 km depletion. Larger structure co-rotated to dawn meridian and was lost to refilling. Not all dawn sector depletions have interplanetary sources but appear “spontaneously” probably due to m i (g × B) currents.

33 C/NOFS Satellite Mission Power spectral densities and theoretical modeling suggest that density irregularities encountered by C/NOFS at topside altitudes were conjugate to those responsible for the 250 MHz scintillations. During the night of 13 - 14 January 2010, S 4 > 0.6 scintillation activity for 250 MHz signals was observed at three SCINDA sites Simultaneous measurements by the Planar Langmuir Probe (PLP) and Ion Velocity Meter (IVM) on C/NOFS suggest that two types of density irregularities exist at topside altitudes: – Equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs): upward drifting depletions – Upward/downward drifting topside density enhancements / depletions depletions that map to image depletions / enhancements on the bottomside. Consistent with the phase-screen approximation, power spectral densities from PLP and VEFI data streams indicate significant power at Fresnel scale. - For 250 MHz carrier and h m F 2  300 km,.

45 C/NOFS Satellite Mission Tentative Conclusions Haerendel (1972) argued that the R-T instability responsible for spread F and EPBs involves whole flux tubes rather than just local plasma irregularities. - Since the seeding irregularities are probably confined in space, we need to ask: How information propagates to tell topside plasma that the bottom irregularities want to change their initially unstable equilibrium configuration? - Alfvén waves are required to transmit energy to topside plasma and maintain field lines near equipotential values (E ≈ E  ) in regions remote from R-T growth. A subset of C/NOFS data are consistent with purely topside irregularities, (i.e. not EPBs) created via polarization E-fields that map to the topside. - Consistent with Alfvén hypothesis, VEFI detected both  E and  B perturbations. - Further investigation needed to ascertain role of  B and the relationship between  E/  B and V A = B 0 /(  0 ρ)½ If correct, then satellites flying in low-inclination orbits in the lower reaches of the topside ionosphere can remotely sense the presence of scintillation- causing irregularities at conjugate bottomside altitudes through measurements of  n,  E and/or  B irregularity spectra.
