The Ionospheric response to CME and CIR-driven storms

Abstract

The response of the ionosphere to Coronal Mass Ejection (CME.- and Corotating Interaction Region (CIR.-driven storms that occurred during the solar cycle 24 (2008-2017. will be presented. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS., Total Electron Content (TEC. and critical frequency of F2 layer from the ionosonde were used to study ionospheric responses. Analysis has shown that ionospheric changes during disturbed conditions could be due to a number of dynamic and electrodynamic processes. Some physical mechanisms responsible for ionospheric storm effects will be discussed. - Abstract as displayed in the - Abstract booklet. The presentation on the day may differ from the - Abstract.
