Generation of a severe convective ionospheric storm under stable Rayleigh–Taylor conditions: triggering by meteors?
Here we report on four events detected using the Jicamarca Radio Observatory (JRO) over an 18-year period, in which huge convective ionospheric storms (CISs) occur in a stable ionosphere. We argue that these rare events could be initiated by meteor-induced electric fields. The meteor-induced ele...
