The Seasonal Behavior of the Characteristic Wave in Low Latitudes
Abstract
This manuscript investigates on the magnitude of polarization of characteristic wave (Dz=0), for all seasons by using the real geometry of the Earth’s magnetic field for the selected altitudes (390,410,450,500,550 and 600 Km) in the equatorial anomaly region at low latitudes (-300S and 300N). The part of imaginary of the characteristic wave having a complex structure in latitudes where equatorial anomaly occurs it has a dramatically resemblance to the change of electron density and the real part has been similarity showing with the change with latitude of the refractive index for all seasons for 12.00-24.00LT.
