Local ionospheric electrodynamics associated with neutral wind fields at low latitudes: Kelvin-Helmholtz billows
The Gadanki radar observation of plasma irregularities bearing the signature of Kelvin-Helmholtz billows above 100 km altitude raises the question of the electrodynamical mechanism that would allow the structures to drift with the neutral wind. We show that for locally varying neutra...
