Sporadic E layer characteristics at equatorial latitudes as observed by GNSS radio occultation measurements

Abstract Scintillations in the signal-to-noise (SNR) profiles of GNSS radio occultation (RO) measurements at lower ionospheric altitudes are caused by compact layers of high ionization also known as sporadic E (Es) layers. It is widely accepted that Es layers are formed by the wind shear mechanism a...
