Why can the auroral-type sporadic E layer be detected over the South America Magnetic Anomaly (SAMA) region? An investigation of a case study under the influence of the high-speed solar wind stream

The low-electron flux variability (increase/decrease) in the Earth’s radiation belts could cause low-energy Electron Precipitation (EP) to the atmosphere over auroral and South American Magnetic Anomaly (SAMA) regions. This EP into the atmosphere can cause an extra upper atmosphere’s ionization, for...
