Abstract. Geomagnetic storms are the most pronounced phenomenon of space weather. When studying ionospheric response to a storm of 15 August 2015, an unexpected phenomenon was observed at higher middle latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere. This phenomenon was a localized total electron content (TEC) enhancement (LTE) in the form of two separated plumes, which peaked southward of South Africa. The plumes were first observed at 05:00 UT near the southwestern coast of Australia. The southern plume was associated with local time slightly after noontime (1–2 h after local noon). The plumes moved with the Sun. They peaked near 13:00 UT southward of South Africa. The southern plume kept constant geomagnetic latitude (63–64° S); it persisted for about 10 h, whereas the northern plume persisted for about 2 h more. Both plumes disappeared over the South Atlantic Ocean. No similar LTE event was observed during the prolonged solar activity minimum period of 2006–2009. In 2012–2016 we detected altogether 26 LTEs and all of them were associated with the southward excursion of Bz. The negative Bz excursion is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the LTE occurrence as during some geomagnetic storms associated with negative Bz excursions the LTE events did not appear.

<p>The energy input from the solar wind and magnetosphere is thought to dominate the ionospheric response during geomagnetic storms. However, at the storm recovery phase, the role of forces from lower atmosphere could be as important as that from above. In this study, we focused on the geomagnetic storm happened on 6–11 September 2017. The ground-based total electron content (TEC) data as well as the F region in situ electron density measured by the Swarm satellites reveals that at low and equatorial latitudes the dayside ionosphere shows as prominent positive and negative responses at the Asian and American longitudinal sectors, respectively. The global distribution of thermospheric O/N2 ratio measured by global ultraviolet imager on board the TIMED satellite cannot well explain such longitudinally opposite response of the ionosphere. Comparison between the equatorial electrojet variations from stations at Huancayo in Peru and Davao in the Philippines suggests that the longitudinally opposite ionospheric response should be closely associated with the interplay of E region electrodynamics. By further applying nonmigrating tidal analysis to the ground‐based TEC data, we find that the diurnal tidal components, D0 and DW2, as well as the semidiurnal component SW1, are clearly enhanced over prestorm days and persist into the early recovery phase, indicating the possibility of lower atmospheric forcing contributing to the longitudinally opposite response of the ionosphere on 9–11 September 2017.</p>

<p>Statistical evaluation of the Dourbes (4.6˚E, 50.1˚N) digisonde automatic scaling of the more frequently used ionospheric parameters (foF2, foF1, foE, h’F2, h’F, h’E, and M3000F2) was performed using automatically and manually scaled data from the time period of 2002 to 2008. Automatic scaling was provided in 92% to 94% of cases for most characteristics, except for foF1 (81%). In terms of the automatic scaling accuracy, the magnitude of the residual error for foF2 and M3000F2 (automatically minus manually scaled values) varied according to local time, season, and solar activity. Although geomagnetic storms appear to affect the automatic scaling, the overall results for the influence of geomagnetic activity were inconclusive. Based on this analysis, error bounds were determined (95% probability) for each characteristic: foF2 (–0.75,+0.85), foF1(–0.25,+0.35), foE(–0.35,+0.40), h’F2(–68,+67), h’F(–38,+32), h’E(–26,+2), and M3000F2(–0.55,+0.45).</p>
