Poster presentation

Night airglow data of Kolhapur station and GPS data of Hyderabad and Bangalore station have been used to obtain OI 630.0 nm intensity emission and d (TEC)/dT values respectively in order to monitor the ionospheric behavior in the Indian region. For this task, we are using the Tilting Photometers and Don Thompson’s slant TEC software (rd_rinex) which gives OI 630.0 nm intensity emission and vertical TEC above each station respectively. The nocturnal variations observed in the atomic oxygen airglow emission at low latitude are well correlated with the dynamical variations seen in the F-region ionospheric parameters such as d(TEC)/dT, for both quiet and disturbed days.The signature of midnight temperature maximum (MTM) has been observed in some of the nights in both OI630.0 nm and d (TEC)/dT data. The signature of MTM has been found in both night airglow (OI630.0 nm) and TEC data. It is suggested that F-region temperature should be simultaneously measured both at equator as well as at Kolhapur to confirm the signature of MTM.
