Atmospheric Gravity Wave (AGW) Sources and Propagation Observations: Events on April 15, 1989 at Sondre Stromfjord

New Image

Two large energetic ionospheric events occurred at 1515 UT and 1610 UT on April 15, 1989 at Sondre Stromfjord. Using measurements from the incoherent scatter radar and a simultaneously-operating magnetometer, we obtained data describing Joule heating, electric fields, current densities, ion velocities, and Pedersen and Hall conductivities in the ionospheric-E-region.
