Planetary waves in rotating ionosphere

The problem of propagation of ultralong planetary waves in the Earth’s upper atmosphere is considered. A new exact solution to the MHD equations for the ionosphere is obtained in spherical coordinates with allowance for the geomagnetic field and Earth’s rotation.

Description
Summary:The problem of propagation of ultralong planetary waves in the Earth’s upper atmosphere is considered. A new exact solution to the MHD equations for the ionosphere is obtained in spherical coordinates with allowance for the geomagnetic field and Earth’s rotation. A general dispersion relation is derived for planetary waves in the ionospheric E and F regions, and the characteristic features of their propagation in a weakly ionized ionospheric plasma are discussed.
