Brief Description (Abstract):

Space weather refers to conditions in geo space which are controlled by the solar activity and which can cause disruption of satellite operations, communications, navigation, and electric power distribution grids, leading to a variety of socio-economic losses. Most of the time, space weather is of little concern in our everyday lives. However, when the space environment is disturbed by the variable outputs o f the Sim, technologies that we depend on, can be affected. Space weather disturbances are generally caused by transient events in the solar atmosphere, which trigger disturbances in the Earth?s environment. Geomagnetic storms are accompanied by a variety of ionospheric disturbances, which are presumably caused by the intensification of the solar wind.

Status: Completed

Purpose: Study of Polar Cap Irregular Ionosphere patches (Polar cap patches are regions of enhanced ionization which drift across the polar cap in an anti-sunward direction from the source region near the dayside auroral oval). Ionospheric irregularities are responsible for scintillation of transionospheric radio signals.
