Disturbances of ionospheric radio channel during magnetic storms in November–December 2023
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2024, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper presents the results of analysis of oblique ionospheric sounding data obtained with continuous chirp signal on the subauroral paths Magadan—Irkutsk and Norilsk—Irkutsk. It specifies the interplanetary sources of magnetic storms in November–December 2023. It was established that signals propagating outside the great-circle arc and additional diffuse reflections can be found in oblique sounding ionograms in intense magnetospheric convection field. Their appearance can be related to refraction of radio waves on the polar wall of the main ionospheric trough and scattering by small-scale inhomogeneities. Connection has been revealed between variations in the maximum observed frequencies of HF radio wave propagation modes with the spatial position of the main ionospheric trough and the equatorial boundary of diffuse electron precipitation zone.

STUDYING THE RELATIONSHIP OF LOCALIZATION PARAMETERS OF SOLAR SOURCES OF MAGNETIC CLOUDS WITH THEIR CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTORM ACTIVITY
We propose a method for determining location and orientation of extended solar sources of magnetic clouds, using coronagraph data and SOHO EIT/MDI images of the photosphere. To estimate the probability of formation of ma...
PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF SIMULTANEOUS RECORDING OF AURORAL AND GEOMAGNETIC PULSATIONS AT THE ISTP SB RAS STATION ISTOK
The paper presents the results on first synchronous observations of variations in auroral luminosity and geomagnetic field, made with high temporal resolution at the ISTP SB RAS high-latitude station Istok (70° N, 88° E)...
MAGNETOSPHERIC RESPONSE TO THE INTERACTION WITH THE SPORADIC SOLAR WIND DIAMAGNETIC STRUCTURE
We report the results of a study on the movement of the solar wind diamagnetic structure (DS), which is a sequence of smaller-scale microDS being part of the May 18, 2013 coronal mass ejection, from a source on the Sun t...
MHD waves at the pre-front of interplanetary shocks on September 6 and 7, 2017
We analyze strong space weather disturbances during first ten days of September 2017, using the geomagnetic Dst index, parameters of normals to interplanetary shock fronts, direct measurements of interplanetary magnetic...
GENERATION OF ALFVÉN WAVES IN MAGNETIZED PLASMA BY LASER PLASMA BUNCHES AT MACH NUMBERS MUCH LESS THAN UNITY
In this paper, we examine a torsional Alfvén wave produced by periodic plasma bunches in a magnetized plasma flux tube. A new effect has been revealed: the wave is generated not only during the action of bunches, but als...
