abstract = "This work analysis the blanketing sporadic layers (Esb) behavior
over S{\~a}o Lu{\'{\i}}s, Brazil (2° 31\′ S, 44°
16\′ W, dip: \−4.80) which is classified as a
transition region between equatorial and low-latitude. Hence, some
peculiarities can appear as Esb occurrence instead of the common
Esq, which is a non-blanketing irregularity layer. The analysis
presented here was obtained using a modified version of a
theoretical model for the E region (MIRE), which computes the
densities of the metallic ions (Fe+ and Mg+) and the densities of
the main molecular ions (NO+, O2+, N2+) by solving the continuity
and momentum equations for each one of them. In that model, the Es
layer physics driven by both diurnal and semidiurnal tidal winds
are taken into account and it was extended in height coverage by
adding a novel neutral wind model derived from the all-sky meteor
radar measurements. Thus, we provide more trustworthy results
related to the Es layer formation in the equatorial region. We
verified the contribution of each tidal wind component to the Esb
layer formation in this equatorial region. Additionally, we
compared the Es layer electron density computed by MIRE with the
data obtained by using the blanketing frequency parameter (fbEs)
deduced from ionograms. The results show that the diurnal
component of the tidal wind is more important in the Esb layer
formation whereas the semidiurnal component has a little
contribution in our simulations. Finally, it was verified that the
modified MIRE presented here can be used to study the Esb layers
occurrence over the equatorial region in the Brazilian sector.",
