ionospheric storm

Ionospheric storms can affect radio communication at all latitudes.

An Ionospheric storm is also known as an Ion storm.

An Ionospheric storm is a turbulence in the ionosphere of the Earth's atmosphere.

Atmospheric and ionospheric storms are virtually unknown."

One fail-safe after another had let them down; helped by the ionospheric storm, the sheer perversity of inanimate things had struck again.

Important for the development of an ionospheric storm is the increase of the ratio N/O during a thermospheric storm at middle and higher latitude.

Longer-lasting magnetospheric disturbances of the order of several hours to days can develop into global-scale thermospheric and ionospheric storms (e.g.,).

However they disturb the F-layer of the ionosphere, especially at middle and high geographical latitudes, causing a so-called ionospheric storm which degrades radio propagation.

Space weather effects on Earth can include ionospheric storms, temporary decreases in ozone densities, disruption to radio communication, to GPS signals and submarine positioning.

N increases the loss process of the ionospheric plasma and causes therefore a decrease of the electron density within the ionospheric F-layer (negative ionospheric storm).

In contrast with sudden ionospheric disturbances (SID), which affect high frequency radio paths near the Equator, the effects of ionospheric storms are more intense in the polar regions.
