F3 layer occurrence as a function of (a) local time, (b) geographic position of the F3 layer during 06:00ā18:00 LT in boreal summer (blue) and winter (red), (c) dip latitude, (d) geographic longitude during boreal summer, and (e) winter. ROCSAT-1-derived equatorial vertical drift Vā„ (gray) was superimposed on (d) and (e) (from Zhao et al. [55]).
