In this article, the propagation of high-frequency (HF) plane electromagnetic waves through the lower ionosphere is numerically investigated using the real geometry of the Earth's magnetic field in the northern hemisphere. For this purpose, the profiles of electron density and the collision frequency in the layers of the lower ionosphere (D- and E-region) are considered using the reported experimental data for day and night. The reflection, transmission, and absorption coefficients of HF radio waves in the frequency range of 3 to 30 MHz are calculated in the ionosphere plasma.

Radio communication and navigation systems can be severely impacted by irregularities in the ionosphere. There is still much to learn about how geomagnetic storms affect the occurrence of these irregularities. Ionosphere studies in different regions, particularly the equatorial and low-latitudes, are necessary to enhance the forecasting of this phenomenon.

This study demonstrates a rich complexity of the time-frequency ionospheric signal spectrum, dependent on the measurement type and platform. Different phenomena contributing to satellite-derived and ground-derived geophysical data that only selected signal bands can be potentially sensitive to seismicity over time, and they are applicable in lithosphere-atmosphere-ionosphere coupling (LAIC) studies. In this study, satellite-derived and ground-derived ionospheric observations are filtered by a Fourier-based band-pass filter, and an experimental selection of potentially sensitive frequency bands has been carried out.

Article Synopsis
  • This study analyzes the response of the Brazilian ionosphere to geomagnetic storms driven by Corotating Interaction Regions (CIR) and High-Speed Solar Wind Streams (HSS) during 2016-2017.
  • It investigates Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) variations across three regions: equatorial, northern crest, and southern crest of the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly, noting both enhancements and depletions of up to 30 and 20 TECu, respectively.
  • The research also highlights the timing of these variations, the role of electric fields in the ionosphere, and includes new catalogs for low-latitude ionospheric storms useful for space weather and modeling.

One of the most intense geomagnetic storms of recent times occurred on 10-11 May 2024. With a peak negative excursion of Sym-H below -500 nT, this storm is the second largest of the space era. Solar wind energy transferred through radiation and mass coupling affected the entire Geospace.
