A prominent quasi-6-day periodicity in the post-sunset EIA is observed during the 2019 Antarctic SSW, coincident with mesospheric Q6DWs.• The EIA displays an overall depletion over South America and the Atlantic when the Q6DWs are quite active.• Multiple mechanisms play roles in coupling of the Q6DW with the post-sunset EIA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
