“…Over the Brazilian sector, Resende et al (2017aResende et al ( , 2017b) used the MIRE model (MIRE, Portuguese acronym for E Region Ionospheric Model) and observational data to show that the main contribution in forming these Es is the tidal winds shear mechanism. Recently, Resende et al (2021) analyzed a set of 20 magnetic storms from 2015 to 2018 in different Brazilian regions, to observe the physical mechanisms in the Es layer formation. The authors used data from Boa Vista (BV, 2.8°N, 60.7°W, dip ∼18°), São Luís (SLZ, 2.3°S, 44.2°W, dip ∼8°), and CP (dip ∼35°).…”
