Collaborative Research: Coordinated Imaging and Scintillation Study of the Conjugate Nature of Equatorial Plasma Irregularities

利用部署在哥伦比亚内瓦和智利塞罗托洛洛的仪器，研究了沿共同磁通管或近共同磁通管的f区赤道不规则传播。部署的仪器是采用777.4 nm、620.0 nm和557.7 nm窄带滤波器的全天成像系统，以及50 hz高采样率的“ScintMon”GPS接收器。这些仪器由秘鲁Jicamarca ISR，南美洲的其他GPS接收器和C/NOFS卫星测量补充，以确定如何将局部不规则性和闪烁数据与等离子体沿整个磁通管的物理传输相协调。

The propagation of F-region equatorial irregularities along a common magnetic flux tube or along nearly common flux tubes is investigated using instruments deployed at Neiva, Columbia and at Cerro Tololo, Chile. The instruments deployed are all-sky imaging systems using 777.4 nm, 620.0 nm, and 557.7 nm narrow-band filters, and 50-Hz high sampling rate "ScintMon" GPS receivers. These instruments are complemented by the Jicamarca Peru ISR, other GPS receivers in South America, and C/NOFS satellite measurements to determine how local irregularity and scintillation data can be reconciled with physics of plasma transport along an entire magnetic flux tube.
