Zusammenfassung |
Temporal and spatial evolution of two high-altitude plasma bubbles (evening
and midnight) was observed on 4 April 2002, at geomagnetic conjugate points
at Sata, Japan (magnetic latitude 24° N), and Darwin, Australia
(magnetic latitude 22° S), using two 630-nm airglow imagers. The apex
height of the bubbles reached ~1500km. The upward velocity of the
evolution was faster in the evening (~170m/s at 20:00-21:00 LT) than around
midnight (~28m/s at 23:00-00:00 LT). Bifurcating features of the bubbles into
a smaller scale size of ~50km were clearly seen for both the evening
and midnight bubbles, showing fairly good conjugacy between the Northern and
Southern Hemispheres. |
