Diagnostic study of geomagnetic storm-induced ionospheric changes over very low-frequency signal propagation paths in the mid-latitude D region [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2022 We performed a diagnostic study of geomagnetic storm-induced disturbances that are coupled to the mid-latitude D region by quantifying the propagation characteristics of very low-frequency (VLF) radio signals from transmitters located in Cumbria, UK ...

Atmospheric drag effects on modelled low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites during the July 2000 Bastille Day event in contrast to an interval of geomagnetically quiet conditions [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2021 In this work, we simulated the atmospheric drag effect on two model SmallSats (small satellites) in low Earth orbit (LEO) with different ballistic coefficients during 1-month intervals of solar–geomagnetic quiet and perturbed conditions. The goal of this

Nonlinear forecasts of ƒoF2: variation of model predictive accuracy over time [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2002 Space weather effects can strongly influence high-frequency (HF) communications by changing the ionospheric environment through which the radio waves propagate. Since many systems utilize HF communications, the ability to make real-time assessments

Is the Anisotropic Tilt Angle Necessary in the Turbulence Spectrum of Refractive-Index Fluctuations?
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 With the deepening of atmospheric turbulence research, scientists have discovered that the anisotropy of turbulence cells cannot be ignored. The anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence model is more in line with the actual situation of atmospheric ...
