Apart from the rapid ionospheric response to geomagnetic forcing originating from the Sun during extreme space weather events, forcing from the lower atmosphere below still exerts a significant influence on the ionosphere during quiet-time conditions ...

Ionospheric response to the corotating interaction region-driven geomagnetic storm of October 2002 [PDF]
Unlike the geomagnetic storms produced by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), the storms generated by corotating interaction regions (CIRs) are not manifested by dramatic enhancements of the ring current. The CIR-driven storms are however capable of producing

Abstract Flares originate from the impulsive release of magnetic energy in the solar atmosphere. The rise in X‐ray flux enhances ionization/electron content in the upper atmosphere, modifying the photochemical and dynamical processes that govern the ionosphere‐thermosphere behavior.

Wave‐Based Quantification of Ion Composition in the Earth's Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere‐Coupling Region
Abstract Ion composition critically determines the basic kinetic characteristics of plasma and affects energy transmission of the magnetosphere. However, it exhibits significant variations with altitude, latitude, local time, longitude, and also with geomagnetic and solar activity.

First results from ground-based daytime optical investigation of the development of the equatorial ionization anomaly [PDF]
A meridional scanning OI 630.0-nm dayglow photometer was operated from Ahmedabad (17.2°N dip lat.) scanning a region towards the south in the upper atmosphere extending over ~5° in latitude from 10.2°N to 15.2°N dip latitude.

Peak characteristics of F2 region over Tucumán: Predictions and measurements [PDF]
Ionosonde measurements obtained at Tucuman are used to check the validity of the International Reference Ionosphere model to predict the maximum electron density of F2 region (NmF2) and its height (hmF2) over this station. Data corresponding to different

Meridional Currents of the Equatorial Electrojet
Abstract The equatorial electrojet (EEJ) is a prominent eastward geomagnetic current flowing at the dayside magnetic dip equator, peaking just before noon. Associated meridional currents also flow perpendicular to the main current, predicted through modeling and observed in rocket measurements.

West African equatorial ionospheric parameters climatology based on Ouagadougou ionosonde station data from June 1966 to February 1998 [PDF]
This study is the first which gives the climatology of West African equatorial ionosphere by using Ouagadougou station through three solar cycles. It has permitted to show the complete morphology of ionosphere parameters by analyzing yearly variation ...
