Huang, Y. (1984). Spatial correlation of the ionsphere total electron content at the equatorial anomaly crest. Journal of Geophysical Research 89: doi: 10.1029/JA080i011p09823. issn: 0148-0227.

The spatial correlation of the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) at the equatorial anomaly crest was studied by recording Faraday rotation angle of the ETS-II geostationary satellite at Lunping and Kaohsiung whose subionospheric points are located at 23.0¿N, 121.0¿N, and 20.9¿N, 121.1¿E, respectively, and are about 280 km apart. The results show that the spatial correlation of TEC at the equatorial crest region is smaller than that at other places. The day-to-day variabilities of TEC differences between two subionospheric points are quite large. The day-to-day variabilities of the fountain effect seem to play an important role.
