| Zusammenfassung |
This work reviews some aspects of the
ionospheric F-layer in the vicinity of the geomagnetic equator. Starting with a
historical introduction, brief summaries are given of the physics that makes the
equatorial ionosphere so interesting, concentrating on the large-scale structure
rather than the smaller-scale instability phenomena. Several individual topics
are then discussed, including eclipse effects, the asymmetries of the
`equatorial trough', variations with longitude, the semiannual variation, the
effects of the global thermospheric circulation, and finally the equatorial
neutral thermosphere, including `superrotation' and possible topographic
influences.
