Es Blog

Weather features have been known to generate turbulence, which in turn produces gravity waves that can propagate upwards to reach the E region, where in turn, they interact with the atmospheric tidal winds and may result in Es (Sporadic-E).

Other weather features which may cause weather turbulence are thunderstorms, and rapidly changing upper air patterns. All of these features are plotted at 6-hourly intervals on charts contained within each daily blog.

Sporadic-E commentary will be added during the Es season, usually May through August inclusive.
