Response of Electron Density in the Ionosphere over Nsukka Zone to Solar Flare Effect
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
It is known that the sun’s activities affect the earth’s atmosphere. In this work, the effect of solar flare on electron density in the ionosphere within Nsukka geographical zone was investigated. The electron density data on flare days and non-flare days were compared and it was observed that electron density is higher on flare days than on non flare days. It was also observed that there is a difference of one hour between the times of the peaks of the electron density in the ionosphere on flare days and non-flare days. The findings have obvious implications for the aviation and communication industries as well as military establishments.
