One expected the sporadic-E (Es) layers to be rather similar at the conjugate locations. However, there were significant differences in the Es, particularly in the part of the Es trace that extends above the blanketing frequency. Considerations of the ambient conditions at the conjugate locations indicate that relatively small differences in parameters such as the tidal winds, electric fields, and background density gradients can significantly affect the structuring of the Es layer. %@area CEA %@documentstage not transferred %@group %@group DAS-CEA-INPE-MCT-BR %@group DAE-CEA-INPE-MCT-BR %@dissemination WEBSCI; PORTALCAPES; AGU. %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup simone %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/3ETL868 %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/3ETR8EH %@resumeid %@resumeid %@resumeid 8JMKD3MGP5W/3C9JHDA %@affiliation University of Western Ontario %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@versiontype publisher %@holdercode {isadg {BR SPINPE} ibi 8JMKD3MGPCW/3DT298S} %@doi 10.1016/j.jastp.2009.05.009 %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19@80/2009/12.14.18.25.28
