<p>The most intense external force affecting the ionosphere from above is related to large solar flare events, therefore it is of particular importance to study their impact on the ionosphere. During solar flares, the suddenly increased radiation causes increased ionization and enhanced absorption of radio waves leading to partial or even total radio fade-out lasting for hours in some cases (e. g. [1] [2]).</p><p> </p><p>The ionospheric response to large solar flares have been investigated using the ionosonde data measured at Pruhonice (PQ052, 50°, 14.5°) in September 2017, the most active solar period of Solar Cycle 24. A novel method [3] to calculate and investigate the absorption of radio waves propagating in the ionosphere is used to determine the absorption during large solar flare events (M and X class). Subsequently, the absorption data are compared with the indicators derived from the f<sub>min</sub> method (f<sub>min</sub>, the minimum frequency is considered as a qualitative proxy for the “nondeviative” radio wave absorption occurring in the D-layer). Total and partial radio fade-out and increased values (with 2-5 MHz) of the f<sub>min</sub> parameter were experienced during and after the intense solar flares (> M3). The combination of these two methods may prove to be an efficient approach to monitor the ionospheric response to solar flares.</p><p> </p><p>[1] Sripathi, S., Balachandran, N., Veenadhari, B., Singh, R., and Emperumal, K.: Response of the equatorial and low-latitude ionosphere to an intense X-class solar flare (X7/2B) as observed on 09 August 2011, J.

Moving Vortex

The investigations of plasma motions at the initial phases of solar flares (Antonucci and Dennis, 1983; Doschek, 1983; Watanabe, 1987) suggest evaporation from the chromospheric flaring area. According to de Jager (1983) when seen at the limb the evaporated plasma will look like a “convective plume” and it can be seen separated from heated footpoint areas.The subject of this work is the study of the possibility of forming hydrodynamic structures o-f thermal and starting plume's kind at the time of evaporation of the upper chromosphere in a flaring area. Also the possibility of increasing an initial magnetic field by a periodically moving vortex in a plume structure is investigated.

Three Space

During the period of the 1980 solar maximum three space missions (P78-1, Solar Maximum Mission and Hinotori ) carried out extensive studies of solar flares. In their different ways all of these missions contributed significant new information to our understanding of the solar flare phenomenon. In this volume the contribution made by these three spacecraft to the study of the energy release and the related creation of high-tem perature plasma, the transport of energy from the primary release site, the production of gamma-rays at energies up to 10 MeV and the ejection of solar matter into interplanetary space are reviewed.

Recombination Processes

Solar flare spectra in the ultraviolet and X-ray wavelength regions are rich in emission lines from highly ionized ions, formed at temperatures around 10 7 K. These lines can be used as valuable diagnostics for probing the physical conditions in solar flares. Such analyses require accurate atomic data for excitation, ionization and recombination processes. In this paper, we present a review of work which has already been carried out, in particular for the Solar Maximum Mission observations, and we look to future requirements for Solar-A .

Flare Frequency

A statistical analysis of solar flare X-rays and interplanetary particle fluxes, measured onboard VENERA-13, 14 Spacecraft, was performed. The correlation of fluences for different manifestations of solar flares is strong, especially for fast electrons and hard and soft X-ray emissions. Frequency dependence on fluence value ϵi for practically all Kinds of solar flare emission can be described by power law ν (ϵ > ϵO) ∼ ϵ−0.45±0.15 which does not change significantly with solar activity. For different Hα flare importances the values of ϵi were obtained. It is proposed that appearance of certain energy flare frequency is strongly dependent on some scale factor.

We report two comments affecting the paper “Curto JJ, Juan JM & Timoté CC, 2019. Confirming geomagnetic Sfe by means of a solar flare detector based on GNSS. J Space Weather Space Clim 9: A42. https://doi.org/10.1051/swsc/2019040”: The first comment is the reporting of two mistakes which distorts the central model used for the measurement and detection of solar flares with GNSS, that might affect as well the most part of results and discussions contained in the paper. And the second comment is the clarification about the authors’ claim of presenting the first work of using the electron content enhancement estimation at the subsolar point for characterizing solar flares with GNSS data, which is not accurate due to the existence of such previous definition and usage.

The Magnetic Field

<p>Solar flares originate from the release of the energy stored in the magnetic field of solar active regions. Generally, the photospheric magnetograms of active regions are used as the input of the solar flare forecasting model. However, solar flares are considered to occur in the low corona. Therefore, the role of 3D magnetic field of active regions in the solar flare forecast should be explored. We extrapolate the 3D magnetic field using the potential model for all the active regions during 2010 to 2017, and then the deep learning method is applied to extract the precursors of solar flares in the 3D magnetic field data. We find that the 3D magnetic field of active regions is helpful to build a deep learning based forecasting model.</p>
