The results of the study of the variability of the electron concentration in the ionosphere in January 2009 are presented. Variations in the electron density in the ionosphere above individual stations and in the global electron content are considered based on the observation data and the results of the model calculations. Comparison of the ionospheric variability obtained from the results of calculations using the models of the upper atmosphere (GSM TIP) and the entire atmosphere (EAGLE) showed that the atmospheric-ionospheric interaction can play one of the key roles in the variability of the ionosphere at midlatitudes. The paper also discusses the issue of simulating the effects of stratospheric warming in 2009 using the EAGLE model.

Spatial and temporal ion drift variability in the high -latitude F region during southward IMF The purpose of the following research is to investigate the role and contribution of variability or structure in the ion drift to the overall Joule heating rate during times of southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). This investigation is limited to southward IMF because the convection patterns are generally more stable and reproducible than those seen for a northward IMF. This allows us to organize the data according to features of the convection pattern and thus produce results that can be used in model simulations of the ionosphere-thermosphere. The contribution of variability or structure in the ion drift to the overall Joule heating is organized into two parts. The first part focuses on the characteristic spatial structure in the ion drift in the F-region ionosphere and how it relates to the bulk ion flow, the large-scale spatial gradient in the bulk ion flow, and the ion temperature. We consider separately the polar cap and auroral zone during the summer and the winter at dawn and dusk during times of steady southward IMF. The second part of this investigation examines the spatial and temporal variability in the ion drift and its contribution to the total Joule heating rate in the F-region ionosphere in the summer and the winter at all magnetic local times (MLT) that are sampled by our data set. This second investigation includes more data than the first investigation by relaxing the stability conditions for southward IMF as well as allowing weaker southward IMF. These topics are investigated utilizing data from the Dynamics Explorer 2 (DE-2) satellite.

Initial observations with the Global Ultraviolet Imager (GUVI) in the NASA TIMED satellite mission The Global Ultraviolet Imager (GUVI) instrument carried aboard the NASA TIMED satellite measures the spectral radiance of the Earth\textquoterights far ultraviolet airglow in the spectral region from 120 to 180 nm using a cross-track scanning spectrometer design. Continuous operation of the instrument provides images of the Earth\textquoterights disk and limb in five selectable spectral bands. Also, spectra at fixed scanning mirror position can be obtained. Initial results demonstrate the quantitative functionality of the instrument for studies of the Earth\textquoterights dayglow, aurora, and ionosphere. Moreover, through forward modeling, the abundance of the major constituents of the thermosphere, O, N2, and O2\ and thermospheric temperatures can be retrieved from observations of the limb radiance. Variations of the column O/N2\ ratio can be deduced from sunlit disk observations. In regions of auroral precipitation not only can the aurora regions be geographically located and the auroral boundaries identified, but also the energy flux Q, the characteristic energy Eo, and a parameter fo\ that scales the abundance of neutral atomic oxygen can be derived. Radiance due to radiative recombination in the ionospheric F region is evident from both dayside and nightside observations of the Earth\textquoterights limb and disk, respectively. Regions of depleted F-region electron density are evident in the tropical Appleton anomaly regions, associated with so-called ionospheric \textquotedblleftbubbles.\textquotedblright Access to the GUVI data is provided through the GUVI website\ www.timed.jhuapl.edu\guvi.
