Meaning of the vertical profile of ion temperature over the Antarctic

The existence of horizontal stratifications of ion temperature has been reported by several workers. In the mid-latitude region we too observed such a wavelike temperature variation using a sounding rocket. These phenomena may be caused by atmospheric oscillations. The observations are thought to be...

Description
Summary:The existence of horizontal stratifications of ion temperature has been reported by several workers. In the mid-latitude region we too observed such a wavelike temperature variation using a sounding rocket. These phenomena may be caused by atmospheric oscillations. The observations are thought to be important over the polar region. In this paper we propose an explanation for the observation of the vertical profile of the ion temperature over the Antarctic.
