The observations demonstrate significant seasonal dependence in the vertical plasma drift during post-sunset hours. Vertical velocity shows a regular upward enhancement and notable oscillations during the evening in all seasons, with time variation dependent on the seasonal variability of sunset. The upward enhancement during sunset is typically attributed to chemical loss. However, the present study shows that the critical plasma frequency does not decrease significantly during sunset. Therefore, the observed velocity enhancement may not be solely attributed to recombination effects after sunset. It might be influenced by wind-driven electric fields. Wavelet analysis reveals wave activity around sunset, suggesting that the oscillations may be excited by the Solar Terminator.</p>","PeriodicalId":584,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Physics","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
