The latitudinal dependence of ionospheric variability on the configuration and parameters of high-speed jet streams associated with the winter circumpolar vortex at the stratosphere/lower mesosphere heights are studied. We conducted a joint analysis of the variations of the ionospheric F2-layer electron density peak and total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere over the mid- and high-latitude regions of Europe in winter months (December to February) from 2007 to 2010 under low solar and geomagnetic activity conditions. The ionosphere parameters were obtained from measurements made at the meridional chain of European vertical sounding ionosondes Rome (41.9°N, 12.5°E), Pruhonice (50.0°N, 14.6°E), Juliusruh (54.6°N, 13.4°E), Sodankylä (67.3°N, 26.6°E). The measurements on the basis of a network of the phase dual-frequency GPS/GLONASS receivers located in the range of 40–70°N and 10–30°E were made. They were used to obtain TEC. The calculation of the vertical total electron content from the initial series was based on the developed “absolute” TEC model taking into account differential code biases. We use the data from the ECMWF ERA-Interim reanalysis to study the dynamics of the winter circumpolar vortex in the Northern Hemisphere. The analysis showed the significant increase in wave-like activity in the stratosphere/lower mesosphere during winter seasons for all analyzed years. Variations of ionospheric parameters observed at different latitudes depend on the station positions relative to the jet stream circulation zone.
Keywords: middle and high atmosphere, ionosphere, atmospheric layers interaction, wave disturbances, TEC, GPS, GLONASS
