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.

Düşük Enlemlerde Karakteristik Dalganın Mevsimsel Davranışı

Abstract

Bu makale, düşük enlemlerde ekvator anomali bölgesinde seçilen rakımlar (390,410,450,500,550 ve 600 Km) için Dünya'nın manyetik alanının gerçek geometrisini kullanarak tüm mevsimler için karakteristik dalganın (Dz = 0) polarizasyonunun büyüklüğünü araştırmaktadır (- 300S ve 300N). Karakteristik dalganın ekvatoral anomalinin meydana geldiği enlemlerde karmaşık bir yapıya sahip olan hayali kısmı, elektron yoğunluğundaki değişime dramatik bir benzerliğe sahiptir ve gerçek kısmı, 12.00-24.00LT tüm mevsimler için kırılma indisinin enlemiyle değişim ile gösterilen benzerlik olmuştur.
