Interhemispheric transport of metallic ions within ionospheric sporadic <i>E</i> layers by the lower thermospheric meridional circulation
<p>Long-lived metallic ions in the Earth's atmosphere (ionosphere) have been investigated for many decades. Although the seasonal variation in ionospheric “sporadic <span class="inline-formula"><i>E</i></span>” layers was first observed in the 1960s, the...
