Diurnal Variation of TEC and S 4 Index During the Period of Low Geomagnetic Activity at Ile-Ife, Nigeria [PDF]
Ile-Ife lies on the equatorial anomaly region where the ionospheric current is greatly influenced by the existence of the equatorial electrojet. The dual frequency SCINDA NovAtel GSV 4004B GPS receiver recently installed at Ile-Ife [on geographical ...

Enhancing Low‐Latitude Ionospheric Irregularity Prediction With Generalized Linear Models
Abstract The ionosphere poses challenges for accurate forecasting due to its complexity and variability. Irregularities in the lower ionosphere are influenced by local time, season, geographic location, solar activity and space weather, complicating precise predictions.

Study of spatial and temporal characteristics of L-band scintillations over the Indian low-latitude region and their possible effects on GPS navigation [PDF]
The scintillation data (S4-index) at the L-band frequency of 1.575GHz, recorded from a total of 18 GPS receivers installed at different locations in India under the GAGAN project, have provided us with a unique opportunity, for the first time in the ...

Strong Polar Ionospheric Electron Density Depletion Under Prolonged Northward IMF Bz Condition
Abstract Previous studies have primarily focused on high‐latitude ionospheric‐thermospheric (I‐T) variabilities under southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions, while rare studies have investigated the I‐T responses to due northward Bz (NBz), especially in the presence of strong IMF By conditions.

Equatorial scintillations in relation to the development of ionization anomaly [PDF]
The irregularities in the electron density distribution of the ionosphere over the equatorial region frequently disrupt space-based communication and navigation links by causing severe amplitude and phase scintillations of signals.

Abstract A polar cap patch was observed to exit the polar cap to become a blob as it entered the auroral oval on the nightside of the Earth under moderately quiet geomagnetic conditions (Kp = 3−). Auroral particle precipitation led to an increase in the electron density of the blob.

Tackling ionospheric scintillation threat to GNSS in Latin America
Scintillations are rapid fluctuations in the phase and amplitude of transionospheric radio signals which are caused by small-scale plasma density irregularities in the ionosphere.

Multi-Instrument Observations of a Geomagnetic Storm and its Effects on the Arctic Ionosphere: A Case Study of the 19 February 2014 Storm:Observations of a Geomagnetic Storm [PDF]
We present a multiinstrumented approach for the analysis of the Arctic ionosphere during the 19 February 2014 highly complex, multiphase geomagnetic storm, which had the largest impact on the disturbance storm-time index that year.

Equatorial Ionospheric Scintillation During Daytime
Scintillation—flickers and distortions in radio waves passing through the ionosphere—can happen during daytime and at much lower dip latitudes than previously thought.
