Zusammenfassung |
In an earlier study, Thampi et al. (2006) have shown that the strength and
asymmetry of Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA), obtained well ahead of the
onset time of Equatorial Spread F (ESF) have a definite role on the
subsequent ESF activity, and a new "forecast parameter" has been identified
for the prediction of ESF. This paper presents the observations of EIA
strength and asymmetry from the Indian longitudes during the period from
August 2005–March 2007. These observations are made using the line of sight
Total Electron Content (TEC) measured by a ground-based beacon receiver
located at Trivandrum (8.5° N, 77° E, 0.5° N dip lat) in India. It
is seen that the seasonal variability of EIA strength and asymmetry are
manifested in the latitudinal gradients obtained using the relative TEC
measurements. As a consequence, the "forecast parameter" also displays a
definite seasonal pattern. The seasonal variability of the EIA strength and
asymmetry, and the "forecast parameter" are discussed in the present paper
and a critical value for has been identified for each month/season. The
likely "skill factor" of the new parameter is assessed using the data for a
total of 122 days, and it is seen that when the estimated value of the
"forecast parameter" exceeds the critical value, the ESF is seen to occur on
more than 95% of cases. |
