Response of the Antarctic Ionosphere to Some Intense Geomagnetic Storms
نویسنده
چکیده
Method: For this purpose, foF2 data from four Antarctic stations were analyzed during three intense magnetic storms occurred in high solar activity (years 2002 and 2003). In general, negative storm effects irrespective of the local time were observed during the first part of the storms (main phase). Negative effects were also observed more often than positive effects during the first part of the recovery phase, which seems to indicate almost no longitudinal dependence in this stage of the storm.

Intense late-cycle solar activity during October and November 2003 produced two strong geomagnetic storms: 28 October–5 November 2003 (October) and 19– 23 November 2003 (November); both reached intense geomagnetic activity levels, Kp=9, and Kp=8+, respectively. The October 2003 geomagnetic storm was stronger, but the effects on the Earth’s ionosphere in the mid-latitude European sector were mor...

[1] In this brief report, the interplay between meteorological and geomagnetic activity influences on the low-latitude ionosphere is studied. Specifically, the disruption of the dominant wave-4 longitudinal structure of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) by geomagnetic storms is investigated in connection with a sequence of three coronal mass ejections in July 2004. Observations of in situ...

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements of the Total Electron Content (TEC) from local (Dourbes, 50.1oN, 04.6oE) and European IGS (International GNSS Service) stations were used to obtain the TEC changes during the geomagnetic storms of the latest solar activity cycle. A common epoch analysis, with respect to geomagnetic storm intensity, season, and latitude, was performed on dat...
متن کاملA logistic regression model for predicting the occurrence of intense geomagnetic storms
A logistic regression model is implemented for predicting the occurrence of intense/super-intense geomagnetic storms. A binary dependent variable, indicating the occurrence of intense/super-intense geomagnetic storms, is regressed against a series of independent model variables that define a number of solar and interplanetary properties of geo-effective CMEs. The model parameters (regression co...
