Fig. 5From: Daily and seasonal variations in the linear growth rate of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the ionosphere obtained with GAIADaily variations of various terms in the R-T growth rate. Individual terms in Eq. (1) in the R-T growth rate (Fig. 1) are shown for the years a 2011, b 2012, and c 2013. Lines indicate (red) upward ExB drift term, (green) gravity term, and (blue) vertical neutral wind termBack to article page
