abstract = "The Global-scale Observation of Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission, for
the first time, provides synoptic two-dimensional (2D) maps of OI
135.6 nm observations. These maps describe the unambiguous and
dynamic evolution of nighttime ionospheric F2-peak electron
densities (NmF2) as the 135.6 nm airglow emission radiance
correlates well with NmF2 at night. On November 19, 2018, the
135.6 nm radiance measured by GOLD, NmF2 measured by a digisonde,
and GPS total electron content (TEC) measurements at Cachoeira
Paulista (CP) all showed a postsunset enhancement, with an
increase near 22:30 universal time. The 135.6 nm radiance map
showed that this enhancement was due to the southward movement of
the southern equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) crest. Therefore,
the GOLD observation showed the linkage between postsunset
enhancement of NmF2 and EIA movement. Furthermore, unlike the
southward movement of the southern crest, the corresponding EIA
northern crest, however, did not show northward motion. This is
the first time that the EIA hemispheric asymmetry, which included
both different densities and movement of two crests in a short
time period (<2-h), was captured. The cause of this asymmetric
movement of the two crests is not clear and requires further
investigation.",
