Abstract:The latitudinal location of the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) crest has seasonal variation, and there are disagreements on the interpretation of such seasonal characteristic in previous studies. Some studies suggested that this seasonal characteristic is determined by the seasonal characteristic of the equatorial electric field. Others suggested that this seasonal characteristic is determined by the seasonal changes of the thermospheric wind. The current paper uses Total Electron Content (TEC) data and t… Show more
