Seasonal variability and descent of mid-latitude sporadic E layers at Arecibo

Sporadic E layers (<I>E<sub>s</sub></I>) follow regular daily patterns in variability and altitude descent, which are determined primarily by the vertical tidal wind shears in the lower thermosphere. In the present study a large set of sporadic E layer incoherent scatter r...
