英文摘要 | In this paper, we first investigate the effects of a postevening Weddell Sea Anomaly (WSA)-like plasma patch on a southwestward propagating medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbance (MSTID) over Xinglong, China (40.4 degrees N, 117.6 degrees E; Mlat. similar to 30.4 degrees N). We found that some of this kind of WSA-like plasma patches moved northward from the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) regions to midlatitudes, as they traveled westward into China. During 2012-2016, these plasma patches frequently occurred during the period of May-August with a monthly occurrence rate of over 20%, causing nighttime plasma density enhancements (NPDEs) in midlatitudes of China. Over 50% of these structures were accompanied by concurrent MSTID and Es. We propose that an intense polarization electric field (PEF) associated with an MSTID/Es from the more northern regions of EIA could frequently drive these plasma patches poleward. On the night of 27 June 2014 (Kp < 2(-)), either an MSTID and an intense Es layer (the maximum foEs >12 MHz) occurred at the onset of the poleward motion of a WSA-like plasma patch, lending credence to this possibility. The observed plasma patch was pushed poleward to interact with the observed MSTID, causing some poleward extending C-shaped airglow depletions/enhancements of the MSTID in a transition region where the ionosphere changed from a collapse region to an uplifted one. We attributed those poleward extending airglow depletions to the interaction between the MSTID and the plasma patch because of the secondary gradient drift instability and those of airglow enhancements to the redistribution of plasma. Plain Language Summary This study found that postevening Weddell Sea Anomaly (WSA)-like patchy plasma structures frequently occurred during May-August of 2012-2016 in the East Asian regions. Among these plasma patches, a small portion moved northward from the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) regions to midlatitudes, as they moved westward into China. On the magnetically quiet night of 27 June 2014 (Kp < 2(-)), such a plasma patch already moved westward and poleward to the midlatitude region of China, affecting the evolution/propagation of a southwestward propagating medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbance (MSTID). This paper, therefore, investigates the interaction between a midlatitude MSTID and a poleward moving WSA-like plasma patch. We mainly investigate the possible physical mechanisms behind this kind of plasma patches and how they could affect the propagation/evolution of MSTIDs over midlatitudes of China. |
