Space weather impacts on the ionosphere over the southern African mid-latitude region

چکیده

Abstract The ionosphere suffers major perturbations during severe space weather events such as Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), solar flares, high-speed streams, and Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs). can experience depletions or enhancements in Total Electron Content (TEC) conditions. South African National Space Agency (SANSA) near-real-time (NRT) TEC maps were used to show the ionospheric variability geomagnetic storm of 3–8 Nov 2021 over southern Africa mid-latitude region. ionosonde TEC, NRT quiet-time AfriTEC model compared 6-day period.

Type-1 echoes from the mid-latitude E-Region ionosphere

This paper presents more data on the properties of type-1 irregularities in the nighttime midlatitude E-region ionosphere. The measurements were made with a 50-MHz Doppler radar system operating in Crete, Greece. The type-1 echoes last from several seconds to a few minutes and are characterized by narrow Doppler spectra with peaks corresponding to wave phase velocities of 250–350 m/s. The avera...

The 1985 southern hemisphere mid-latitude total column ozone anomaly

One of the most significant events in the evolution of the ozone layer over southern mid-latitudes since the late 1970s was the large decrease observed in 1985. This event remains unexplained and a detailed investigation of the mechanisms responsible for the event has not previously been undertaken. In this study, the 1985 Southern Hemisphere mid-latitude total column ozone anomaly is analyzed ...

Evidence linking rapid Arctic warming to mid-latitude weather patterns

The effects of rapid Arctic warming and ice loss on weather patterns in the Northern Hemisphere is a topic of active research, lively scientific debate and high societal impact. The emergence of Arctic amplification--the enhanced sensitivity of high-latitude temperature to global warming--in only the last 10-20 years presents a challenge to identifying statistically robust atmospheric responses...
