Radio interferometers, which are designed to observe astrophysical objects in the universe, can also be used to study the Earth's ionosphere. Radio interferometers like the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) detect variations in…

We use 62 electron density profiles collected by the Radio Occultation Science Experiment (ROSE), on MAVEN, when Mars was hit by CIRs and ICMEs close to aphelion (April 2021) and during two dust storms (June-July 2022) to examine the…

We investigate an unusual class of medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MS TIDs) of the nonwave type, isolated ionospheric disturbances (IIDs) that manifest themselves in total electron content (TEC) variations in the form of…

On April 15, 2016, the Kumamoto earthquake (Mw 7.3) occurred in Japan with no warning signals. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers provide useful information on disturbances in ionosphere by calculating the changes in Total…

A comparative statistical analysis of AATR and WTEC indices was conducted based on data from the ISTP SB RAS GNSS receivers network. It is shown that at high levels of ionospheric disturbance (for WTEC > 0.1 TECU), the AATR index is…

The ionosphere contributes time-varying Faraday Rotation (FR) to radio signals passing through it. Correction for the effect of the ionosphere is important for deriving magnetic field information from FR observations of polarized cosmic…
