Dr Rahul Rathi
Senior Research AssociateProfile
My research focuses on the investigation of ionospheric irregularities using multi-instrument [(ground-based: all-sky airglow imager, ionosonde, HF Radar, GNSS receivers) and (satellite-based: SWARM, GOES, ACE, ARASE, THEMIS, RBSP)] datasets. I study both mid and high-latitude ionospheric irregularities, specifically medium scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) and plasma depletions, during both geomagnetic quiet and active periods. Along with this, I simultaneously work with my coworkers on studying the Martian upper atmospheric/ionospheric response to the space weather events (Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMEs), Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs), and Solar Flares).
I am currently part of ‘DRivers and Impacts of Ionospheric Variability with EISCAT-3D (DRIIVE)’ project and investigating the high-latitude TIDs using SuperDARN dataset.
