Fig. 5From: El Niño–Southern Oscillation effect on ionospheric tidal/SPW amplitude in 2007–2015 FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC observationsComparison of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) components of the amplitude anomalies of the TEC tidal/SPW (red curve) and zonal wind DE3 (black curve) in lower thermosphere, as well as the F10.7 index (blue curve). A band-pass filter with the cutoff period ranging from 18 to 34 months is applied to extract the QBO component from the time series. The QBO components have been normalized within ± 1 for the comparisonBack to article page
