Fig. 8

From: Global distribution of magnetic ripples and electron density fluctuations as observed by the Swarm satellites on the dayside and their relation to the rainfall estimated by the GSMaP

Fig. 8

Same as Fig. 6a and b, but in Apex coordinate system. The blank area within ± 10º Apex latitudes appears because the geomagnetic lines of force in this area cannot reach satellite altitudes. The Apex latitudes of the coast-lines are calculated at 120 km altitudes assuming that the magnetic ripples are generated in the ionospheric dynamo layer
