Brief Description (Abstract):
Ionosphere plays an important role for long distance HF communications as well as affects the satellite communication and navigation services especially in high and equatorial latitudes. Inview of this CSIR-NPL planned to establish a state of the art Space Physics Laboratory at Indian Permanent Research Base ?Maitri? to study the space weather impact over high latitude ionospheric region and its coupling with the low latitude region. In connection to this a Canadian make Advanced Digital Ionosonde (CADI) system along with a Novatel make Global Ionospheric Scintillation and Total Electron Content Monitoring (GISTM) system has been installed during IPY period. The said systems are capable of monitoring different ionospheric parameters like bottom side vertical electron density profile, peak electron density and heights of different ionospheric layers, Ionospheric Total Electron Content (ITEC), L-Band Phase and Amplitude Scintillation etc. on real time basis.
Status: Completed
Purpose: The main achievement of 28th Indian Scientific expedition to Antarctica is commissioning of Indian Polar Space Physics Laboratory and utilising the experimental data to study the high latitude ionospheric response to the adverse space weather conditions. The observation clearly shows that the consecutive sub-storms are responsible for generation of a moderate type global geomagnetic storm. Also, the magnetospheric outburst during sub-storm recovery phase leads to perturb the Earths ionosphere mainly polar ionosphere. The study provided a clear scenario of complete process of activity triggered by solar wind penetration to the polar region ionosphere perturbing Earths magnetosphere. However, the L-band scintillation activity is more during the polar winter period i.e. as compared to summer.
