Abstract

This paper is a continuation of the work of Sutcliffe and Poole (1989, J. geophys. Res.94, 13,505) which described the mechanisms which connect ground-based geomagnetic pulsation measurements with simultaneously observed Doppler velocity oscillations (V∗) in the ionosphere. We concentrate on a presentation of model predictions that show the extreme variability of V∗ with parameters such as radio sounding frequency, electron concentration profile, magnetoionic mode, geomagnetic field inclination, scale length and pulsation frequency. The potential to use these results in a diagnostic fashion is also discussed.
