Analysis on Global Es Layer Response to the May 2024 Geomagnetic Storm Through a Combination of Tianmu‐1 and COSMIC‐2 Radio Occultation Observations

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The sporadic E (Es) layer, a key manifestation of ionosphere‐neutral atmosphere coupling, is highly sensitive to geomagnetic storms. Using more than 25,000 daily radio occultation profiles from the Tianmu‐1 and COSMIC‐2 constellations, this study investigates the global response of the Es layer to the May 2024 storm.

Applying Hpo Indices to Empirical Thermospheric Density Models During Geomagnetic Storms

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Accurate atmospheric drag modeling is essential for precise orbit determination and prediction of Low Earth Orbit satellites. A key component is the thermospheric density, typically estimated using empirical models driven by geomagnetic activity indices such as the 3‐hr Kp or ap.

The 2021 volcanic eruption in La Palma Island and its impact on ionospheric scintillation as measured from GNSS reference stations, GNSS-R, and GNSS-RO

, 2022
Abstract. Ionospheric disturbances induced by seismic activity have been studied in the last years by many authors, showing an impact both before and after the occurrence of earthquakes. In this study, the ionospheric scintillation produced by the 2021 La Palma volcano eruption is analyzed.

GNSS-RO Residual Ionospheric Error (RIE): A New Method and Assessment

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
Abstract. GNSS radio occultation (RO) observations play an increasingly important role in monitoring climate changes and numerical weather forecasts in the upper troposphere and stratosphere. The magnitudes of the RO bending angle are small at these altitudes, and therefore residual ionospheric error (RIE) is critical to retrieve vertical profiles of ...
