|
|
|
– |
Density
inhomogeneities due to Travelling Ionospheric
|
|
|
|
Disturbances
(TIDs) may affect radio observations at dam to dm
|
|
|
wavelength.
|
|
|
|
– |
TIDs most often
due to gravity waves, sometimes to other
|
|
|
|
phenomena
(including magnetosphere).

Effects
are proportionnal to f-2

Gravity waves are
neutral atmosphere phenomenon , which
|
|
|
couples through
collisions to electrons and ions
