F-layer polar cap arcs

Two types of ionospheric anomalies have been discovered recently in the polar cap; patches and arcs. Polar cap arcs are the focus of this study, which seeks correlation between arcs and total electron content (TEC) enhancements and amplitude scintillation effects. Simultaneous optical and radio freq...
