Equatorial ionospheric response to isolated auroral substorms over a solar cycle (1980−85): evidence of longitudinal anomaly
The equatorial ionospheric response to 228 isolated, rapid-onset auroral substorms (as defined from the auroral electrojet index AE) was found from enhancements of the virtual (minimum) height of the F-region (∆h$^\prime$F) in the declining phase of a solar cycle (1980–85). The responses, found for...

The equatorial ionospheric response to 228 isolated, rapid-onset auroral substorms (as defined from the auroral electrojet index AE) was found from enhancements of the virtual (minimum) height of the F-region (∆h$^\prime$F) in the declining phase of a solar cycle (1980–85). The responses, found for three longitudinal sectors at the equator: Africa (Ouagadougou and Dakar), Asia (Manila) and America (Huancayo), were compared with the response close to the auroral source region at Yakutsk (northern Siberia). The auroral substorm onsets were centered at 17 and 15 UT at sunspot maximum (1980–82) and minimum (1983–85), preceding by 3–5 h the period of post-sunset height rise in the African sector whereas other sectors were in the early afternoon (Huancayo) and morning (Manila). The African response, particularly at Ouagadougou, was distinctly different from other sectors. In the sunspot maximum years (1980–81) the auroral surges were followed after about 3 h by a sharp depression (∆h$^\prime$F<0) in the post-sunset height rise, with a period of little or no response (∆h$^\prime$F=0) in 1982.
