Classifying Signatures of Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances

Kavli Affiliate: Philip H. Scherrer | Summary:Solar activity, such as flares, produce bursts of high-energy radiation that temporarily enhance the D-region of the ionosphere and attenuate low-frequency radio waves. To track these Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances (SIDs), which disrupt communication signals and perturb satellite orbits, Scherrer et al. (2008) developed an international, ground-based network of around […]
