Degree Of Similarity

The statistical analysis of the 5-day and 10-day oscillations inferred in the upper and lower ionosphere in Central Europe from f0F2 measured in Pruhonice and the radio wave absorption in the lower ionosphere shows a remarkable degree of similarity for relative amplitudes of oscillations (not for absolute amplitudes). The relative amplitudes in both regions do not express a significant solar cycle effect and their seasonal variation is also similar except for winter. The typical relative amplitude of both 5- and 10-day oscillations in the F2-region is about 4%, which is useful information for PRIME.

Long Term Trends

Abstract. The continuous increase in concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is expected to cool higher levels of the atmosphere. There is some direct and indirect experimental evidence of long-term trends in temperature and other parameters in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). Here we look for long-term trends in the annual and semiannual variations of the radio wave absorption in the lower ionosphere, which corresponds to the MLT region heights. Data from central and southeastern Europe are used. A consistent tendency to a positive trend in the amplitude of the semiannual wave appears to be observed. The reality of a similar tendency in the amplitude of the annual wave is questionable in the sense that the trend in the amplitude of the annual wave is probably induced by the trend in the yearly average values of absorption. The phases of both the annual and semiannual waves display a forward tendency, i.e. shift to an earlier time in the year. A tentative interpretation of these results in terms of changes of the seasonal variation of temperature and wind at MLT heights does not contradict the trends observed in those parameters.Key words.
