Abstract:	摘要： Equatorial spread F observations have been categorized into three categories based on ionograms recorded over Sriharikota. First category comprised cases where the onset of equatorial spread F (ESF) was concurrent with the peak h′F time. Second and third categories comprised cases where the onset of ESF happened with a delay of 30 min and more than 30 min, respectively, with reference to the peak h′F time. Average peak h′F in the first category was more than 35 km higher than that in the second and third categories. Also, the peak vertical (upward) plasma drift was higher in the first category. Assuming the genesis of F region irregularity to have happened at or before the time of F layer attaining the peak height, late onset of ESF indicates the genesis of irregularities to have happened westward of Sriharikota. The fact that the peak h′F values were remarkably different in the three categories indicates a zonal variation of eastward electric field and postsunset height rise of F layer. The relative magnitude of the F layer height rise in the three different categories over Sriharikota has also been found to be significantly different than that over Thumba, an equatorial (magnetic) station located ~360 km westward of Sriharikota longitude. This scenario points toward the existence of a large‐scale zonal standing wave in the F layer and its important role in F region instability process. Results presented in the manuscript have been discussed in the light of current understanding on the large‐scale wave structure. Key Points Thumba and Sriharikota ionosondes from Indian sector have been utilized Investigation on the F layer height rise and ESF onset time has been presented Observations highlight the important role of LSWS in ESF 其他題名： Space Weather 出版者： Washington: Blackwell Publishing Ltd 出版日期： 2015-04 出處： Space Weather, 2015-04, Vol.13 (4), p.211-219 資源來源： Alma/SFX Local Collection 版權： 2015.
