Plasma and neutral gas variations registered onboard Dynamics Explorer 2 satellite by NACS-instrument (Neutral Atmosphere Composition Spectrometer, detector of the neutral species densities) and RPA-instrument (Retarding Potential Analyzer, detector of the ion density and temperature). Measurement data are filtered in bandwidth 100–1000 km. There are shown (from top to bottom) relative perturbations in neutral density δρ/ρ, ion temperature δT/T, ion concentration δn i /n i , atomic oxygen δ[O]/[O] and molecular nitrogen δ[N2]/[N2] concentrations. Counts are binding to time, altitude, and geographical coordinates of the satellite. AGW waveform is clearly distinguishable in neutral gas parameters. Variations of plasma parameters are noisier being partly caused by AGW, partly by different causes.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
