Using the horizontal neutral wind observations from the MIGHTI instrument onboard NASA's ICON (Ionospheric Connection Explorer) spacecraft with continuous coverage, we determine the climatology of the mean zonal and meridional winds and the associated mean circulation at low- to middle latitudes ($10^\circ$S-40$^{\circ}$N) for Northern Hemisphere {...

The behavior of the Brazilian equatorial ionosphere during the solar minimum periods, 1996 and 2009, which cover the solar cycles 22/23 and 23/24, respectively, is investigated. For this, the F2 layer critical frequency (foF2) and peak height (hmF2) registered by a Digisonde operated at São Luis (2.33° S; 44° W) are carefully analyzed. The results...
High-rate radio occultation (RO) in COSMIC-2 (FORMOSAT7) enables us to investigate the finer details of the ionosphere owing to the measurements being made at a significantly high spatiotemporal resolution, which was unthinkable a decade ago. In the vertical plane, local-time ionospheric wavenumber-4 (WN4) structures display tilted phase-fronts ove...
This study uses satellite measurements of plasma densities and thermospheric winds to analyze the effects of the November 2021 geomagnetic storm on ionospheric pre‐midnight topside plasma bubbles over South America. Using observations from the Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) and the Global‐scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) satel...
The Global‐scale Observations of Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission has provided an unusual array of upper atmosphere observations from a geostationary platform, including the behavior of the low latitude nighttime ionosphere. One of the features observed by GOLD is the formation of an X‐pattern in the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly when its crests collap...
The solar eclipse has a great influence on the variability of the ionosphere because of the obscuration of solar radiation. Using the equatorial electrojet (EEJ) and plasma measurements from Swarm, zonal winds from the Michelson Interferometer for Global High‐resolution Thermospheric Imaging on Ionospheric Connection Explorer mission, and electron...
