Zusammenfassung |
Ion composition measurements on board the
ACTIVE satellite during the recovery phase of a strong geomagnetic storm of
10-12 April 1990 revealed extremely high concentrations (up to 103 cm-3)
of the NO+, O+2, N+2
molecular ions in the topside F2-region of the European high-latitude zone.
Concentrations of O+, N+, He+, H+
light ions were slightly decreased relative to prestorm quite conditions.
Theoretical calculations were used to analyze the observed variations in ion
concentration. Increased neutral temperature and [O2], [N2]
are shown to be the main reasons for the observed ion concentration variations. |
