A New Ionospheric Index to Investigate Electron Temperature Small-Scale Variations in the Topside Ionosphere

The electron temperature (<i>T</i>e) behavior at small scales (both spatial and temporal) in the topside ionosphere is investigated through in situ observations collected by Langmuir Probes on-board the European Space Agency Swarm satellites from the beginning of 2014 to the end of 2020....
