Abstract
A search for long-term trends in the F 2 layer critical frequency foF 2 is performed based on vertical sounding observations at three stations of the Northern Hemisphere (Juliusruh, Boulder, and Moscow) and three stations of the Southern Hemisphere (Townsville, Hobart, and Canberra). A method developed and extensively described by the authors is used. The data for two winter months in each hemisphere for five near-noon LT moments were analyzed. Three solar activity (SA) proxies (F 30, Ly-α, and MgII) were used to eliminate SA effects. Negative trends are obtained for all considered situations (station, month, LT moment, SA proxy). The trends agree well with each other both if stations of the Northern and Southern hemispheres are compared individually or in aggregate.
期刊介绍:
Geomagnetism and Aeronomy is a bimonthly periodical that covers the fields of interplanetary space; geoeffective solar events; the magnetosphere; the ionosphere; the upper and middle atmosphere; the action of solar variability and activity on atmospheric parameters and climate; the main magnetic field and its secular variations, excursion, and inversion; and other related topics.
