We investigate effects of pl<strong>an</strong>etary scale waves on the ionospheric parameters, h´F <strong>an</strong>d foF2,<br />

in the equatorial ionosphere. In or<strong>der</strong> to find out pl<strong>an</strong>etary wave oscillations in the mesopause<br />

region, temporal variations of the mesospheric wind structure measured by meteor radar at<br />

São João do Cariri (7.4 o S, 36.5 o W) were used. For the ionospheric parameters ionosonde<br />

data at Fortaleza (3.9 o S, 38.4 o W) were used. The wavelet <strong>an</strong>alysis was used to identify the 3-<br />

4-Day Kelvin wave oscillations in the observational data, <strong>an</strong>d some coincidence between the<br />

parameters was <strong>an</strong>alyzed. The effect of winds induced by the pl<strong>an</strong>etary waves in the<br />

ionospheric parameters was tested using the ionospheric model “CODB2005” (Codigo de<br />

Batista 2005). Some relev<strong>an</strong>t results in comparison of the model calculation <strong>an</strong>d observed<br />

oscillation amplitude will be presented.
