Abstract:
The occurrence and morphology of ionospheric
Es-s over Wuchang,China,are examined and statistically analysed.The
Es-s over this area is possessed of high occurrence and clear trace.We consider that
Es-s is neither an intrinsic companion of magnetic disturbances,nor a phenomenon existing exclusively in the auroral zones and in the geomagnetic equatorial region. Over this area,
Es-s occurred mostly in magnetic quiet days,and the maximum of occurrence rate is arround 09
h or 10
h LMT diurnally and in summer months seasonally.No effect on this feature due to variations of geomagnetic field or solar activity has so far been detected.
