Comparison of Vertical Ionospheric Drifts Obtained by Different Techniques

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Since 2004 the ionospheric observatory in Pruhonice (Czech Republic, 50N, 14.9E) provides regular ionospheric sounding using Digisonde. In addition to classical ionograms the drift velocities in both E and F region using DDA method are measured routinely.nHowever, vertical component of the drift velocity vector can be estimated by several different methods which can be found in the literature; for example the indirect estimation based on the temporal evolution of measured ionospheric characteristics is often used for calculation of the vertical drift component. The vertical velocity is thus estimated according to the change of characteristics scaled from the classical quarter-hour ionograms.nnIn present paper the direct drift measurement is compared with technique based on measuring of the virtual height at fixed frequency from the F-layer trace on ionogram, technique based on variation of hF and hmF.nnThe ionospheric observatory in Pruhonice is midlatitudinal station and typicaly provides measurements in 15 minutes cadence. Due to the fact that the most papers use different indirect methods use equatorial data, we also focuse on results of equatorial stations and other stations that carry out measurements with higher cadence (5 minutes).nnOur comparison shows possibility of using different methods for calculating vertical drift velocity and their relationship to the direct measurement used by Digisondes.
