Heating of the auroral ionosphere by traveling ionospheric disturbances initiated by atmospheric gravity waves
In the presence of perturbations of the thermospheric auroral region produced by traveling ionospheric disturbances during the propagation of atmospheric gravity waves, an analytical expression of the velocity of the thermospheric plasma is derived through magnetohydrodynamic formalism. The expressi...
