Alfvén wave characteristics of equatorial plasma irregularities in the ionosphere derived from CHAMP observations

Alfvén wave characteristics of equatorial plasma irregularities in the ionosphere derived from CHAMP observations

We report magnetic field observations of the components transverse to the main field in the frequency range 1-25 Hz from times of equatorial plasma irregularity crossings. These field variations are interpreted as Alfvénic signatures accompanying intermediate-scale (150 m – 4 km) plasma density depl...
