4. Discussion and Summary
- (1)
- During the 2019 Antarctic SSW event, a 14.5 day period signal with a zonal wavenumber of 0 is observed both in the neutral atmosphere (demonstrated by the MLT wind) and ionosphere (demonstrated by the TEC).
- (2)
- The 14.5 day periodic oscillation in the ionosphere shows significant latitudinal variation with the maximum amplitude occurring at EIA crests.
- (3)
- The 14.5 day periodic oscillation in the ionosphere shows local time dependence, with the maximum amplitude appearing in the time range from 1000 to 1600 LT.
- (4)
- The 14.5 day periodic oscillation is generally weaker in the longitudinal region between 30° W and 60° E.
