1 Using the GRAIT Detrender to Study Ionospheric Bubbles / Irregularities over South America and the Caribbean (and the prospect for Southeast Asia-Pacific) Rezy Pradipta Boston College Institute for Scientific Research Thursday, 15 February 2018
2 An Executive Summary We have implemented a special type of TEC data detrending technique [Pradipta et al., 2015] to study ionospheric bubbles and irregularities. We found that equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) over South America might expand/extend northward, reaching the Caribbean region. However, sometimes we found ionospheric irregularities that are unique to the Caribbean region (independent of EPB occurrence).

3 An Executive Summary (continued) We have implemented a special type of TEC data detrending technique [Pradipta et al., 2015] to study bubbles/irregularities over South America. The Southeast Asia-Pacific region also has a growing network of GPS receiver stations, but the region is still largely understudied. What could be accomplished with much of the observation data from these receiver stations? What are the potential challenges?

5 Objectives and Challenges of TEC Data Detrending Large depletions are often mistaken for part of the background variation. Or worse: they may be misinterpreted as large-amplitude wave oscillation. Rezy P., BC ISR Seminar GPS TEC Data Detrending & Ionospheric Bubbles/Irregularities 5/34

7 Mechanical Analogy of Rolling Barrel for TEC Detrending Treat absolute TEC signal as a form of terrain (for a barrel to roll on it). Contact points of this rolling barrel = a template for the overall trend. Depletions excluded can continue with conventional TEC detrending.

The BRC envelopes: BRC + 1 TECU, and BRC 3 TECU Examine dtec/dt also to cross-check. Savitzky-Golay filter was used in the final step to obtain the overall TEC trend.

Top: RTI plot of the ionosonde data from Arecibo, Puerto Rico on 20 Jun Bottom: RTI plot of ionosonde data from Jicamarca JRO, Peru on 20 Jun There was significant degree of turbulence over the Caribbean. However, there was essentially little/no iono turbulence over South America. Rezy P., BC ISR Seminar GPS TEC Data Detrending & Ionospheric Bubbles/Irregularities 27/34
28 Some Lessons from the Tests & Experimental Findings Combination of GPS TEC and ionosonde measurements (with adequate detrending/mapping techniques and data representation/display format) can be very effective for monitoring irregularities in the ionosphere. Geomagnetic storms usually supress equatorial plasma bubbles. However, depending on the exact start time of the storms, they can also make the equatorial bubbles stronger. Under special circumstances such as geomagnetic storms, equatorial plasma bubbles over South America can extend further northward to reach the Caribbean area. Yet, ionospheric plasma density irregularities can also appear/develop locally over the Caribbean as a midlatitude region.

34 Conclusions We have developed and tested the GRAIT Detrender technique with an inherent capacity to distinguish depletions from wave fluctuations. We implemented this TEC data detrending technique to study TEC depletions and ionospheric irregularities around South America. Equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) over South America can expand/ extend northward, reaching the Caribbean region. However, sometimes we may have ionospheric irregularities that are unique to the Caribbean region (independent of EPB occurrence). With the growing network of GPS receiver stations, we hope to accomplish similar act in the Asia-Pacific region as well. For further details on the GRAIT Detrender technique: Pradipta, R., C. E.
