Study of Chance for Good DDA Drift Velocity Estimation for Ionospheric F-region Drift Measurements
Kouba, Daniel ; Koucká Knížová, Petra
Estimation of the plasma drift velocity measured by Digisonde depends on the number of reflection points and their distribution. In the paper we divide and analyse plasma drift measurements according to the number of reflection points. A detailed study of Digisonde drift measurement quality has not been published yet. Two extreme groups are selected for further detail analysis, the first one with less than 100 reflection points and the second with more than 800 points. Within the data in these groups we detect annular and diurnal variability. Measurements containing low number of the reflection points occur mainly around equinoxes and during day-time. On the contrary, maximum occurrence of the measurements with more than 800 points is in winter and summer. The lowest chance to register extreme number of the reflections is during afternoon and around sunset.
Možný vliv zemětřesení na nízkofrekvenční elektromagnetické vlny: pozorování na družici s nízkou orbitou
Němec, František ; Santolík, Ondřej ; Parrot, M.
We present results of a statistical study of VLF (up to 10 kHz) wave intensity measured by a low-altitude spacecraft in the vicinity of earthquakes. The data from the French DEMETER spacecraft (altitude about 700 km, nearly Sun-synchronous orbit) that was specially developed for such kind of studies are used. The recently developed two-step data processing method is briefly introduced and the main obtained results are reviewed. Finally, a simple independent test of the obtained results is done in order to give an additional evidence for the existence of possible seismic-related effect. Our results indicate that there is a decrease of power spectral density of electric field fluctuations shortly (0-4 hours) before the time of the main shock. This decrease was observed close to surface earthquakes (depth less than 40 km) with magnitude larger than or equal to 4.8 and only during the night. No similar effect was observed for deep earthquakes nor during the day.
Driftová měření pro F-vrstvu ionosféry na stanici Průhonice - sezonní průběhy charakteristik pro klidné dny
Kouba, Daniel ; Šauli, Petra ; Boška, Josef ; Santolík, Ondřej
In the paper we concentrate on the F-region drift-data measured by the ionospheric station Pruhonice (50.0N, 14.6E). We demonstrate application of the skymap points selection method on the data set collected in 2006, during a period of low geomagnetic and solar activity. Using histograms of horizontal and vertical velocity components we found prevailing directions of plasma motion corresponding to specified ranges of velocities. Within the analyzed data we found significant decrease of the daily-maximal horizontal component from winter to summer 2006.
