abstract = "We have developed algorithms for conducting a seasonal statistical
study of the occurrence of plasma irregularities in the Peruvian
sector as a function of height and local time, covering two years
of data (2007 and 2008) close to the solar minimum. This study was
performed based on radar measurements carried out at the Jicamarca
Radio Observatory (JRO), which is located in Lima-Peru (11.57
degrees S, 76.52 degrees W, dip: 2 degrees N), under the magnetic
equator. The statistical analysis runs over daily Range Time
Intensity (RTI) maps obtained with the radar operating in the
Jicamarca Unattended Long-term Investigations of the Ionosphere
and Atmosphere (JULIA) mode. Our results revealed relevant
features of the diurnal variation of the plasma irregularities
embedded in the equatorial electrojet, such as: a more often
occurring presence of the 3-m irregularities during equinox, and a
descent of the scattering profile in the morning hours, followed
by its ascent in the afternoon.",
