Trace Extraction and Repair of the F Layer from Pictorial Ionograms

Atmosphere
Publicly available ionograms are often in the form of pictures. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for extracting and repairing the F layer traces from pictorial ionograms.

Freshly Generated Super Sunrise Plasma Bubbles During the Geomagnetic Storm on November 5–6, 2023

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract During the geomagnetic storm on November 5–6, 2023, freshly generated super sunrise equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) and associated irregularities over the 80°–140°E sector were observed combining ground‐based and space observations from GNSS, ionosondes, HF Doppler records, and several satellite missions (COSMIC2, Swarm, and DMSP).

Features of backscatter ionospheric sounding as studied with a chirp ionosonde

Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2017
We present the results of the studies of backscatter ionospheric sounding (BS) on the basis of a multipurpose chirp ionosonde developed in ISTP SB RAS. We analyze BS experimental data obtained during different seasons from 2005 to 2009.

Evidence and Causes of an Unusual Super Plasma Bubble Occurrence During Weak Geomagnetic Conditions Over Europe

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Using data from a cluster of ground‐based global navigation satellite system, we observed spatially extended enhanced ROTI over the European longitudes during a weak geomagnetic storm (Dst ≈ ${\approx} $ −50 nT) on 4 November 2023. The enhanced ROTI is extended over an extensive geographical latitudinal range of 46°N.

Ionogram scaling using Hidden Markov Models [PDF]

2018 26th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2018
In this paper, a novel method for electron density reconstruction using ionosonde data is proposed. Proposed technique uses Hidden Markov Models for extracting echoes that provides valuable information about electron density distribution in order to provide input to a model based optimization technique that reconstructs the electron density ...

Forecasting Equatorial Plasma Bubbles From Precursor TEC Signatures Observed by C/NOFS

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the potential of localized total electron content (TEC) perturbation measurements, possibly associated with bottomside upwelling of the F‐layer, as precursors for forecasting ionospheric plasma irregularities, particularly the equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs).

Acquirement and analysis of Doppler ionograms with high accuracy in the ionogram mode from Digisonde 256 [PDF]

Radio Science, 2004
The Doppler frequency shift of the radio echo reflected from the ionosphere is an important characteristic to measure ionospheric movements. Generally, for the Digisonde 256 digital ionosonde, a Doppler frequency shift with high resolution can be obtained in the drift mode. In this mode, the height profile of ionospheric disturbances cannot be acquired

Upwelling Metallic Ions Producing Valley Region Irregularities Over Low Latitude During the 2025 New Year Magnetic Storm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract Valley region irregularities (VRIs) have been previously investigated using radar, ionosonde, and rocket‐borne in situ observations. In this paper, based on a joint observational experiment by lidar and radars performed in Hainan, China, we report a case of low‐latitude VRIs generated in association with uplifted metallic ions for the first ...

NOIRE-Net–a convolutional neural network for automatic classification and scaling of high-latitude ionograms

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Millions of ionograms are acquired annually to monitor the ionosphere. The accumulated data contain untapped information from a range of locations, multiple solar cycles, and various geomagnetic conditions.

First Observation of Localized F Region Bottom‐Type Scattering Layer by All‐Sky Radar at Low Latitude

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract F‐region bottom‐type scattering layers (BSLs) occurring over equatorial and low latitudes may act as the precursor of plasma bubbles, usually observed by narrow‐beam very high frequency radars. However, their spatial features remain unknown due to the radar narrow field‐of‐view.
