The interaction between solar activity and Earth's magnetosphere magnetosphere-ionosphere system often results in geomagnetic storms that disturb ionospheric electron density. In this study, we analyse the ionospheric response to selected…
In our study we analyze and compare the response and behavior of the ionospheric F2 and of the sporadic E-layer during three strong (i.e., Dst <-100nT) individual geomagnetic storms from years 2012, 2013 and 2015, winter time period. The…
The present study explores the ionospheric effects of the well cited solar flare events (M3.2, M3.9/2N) of 18 November 2003 associated with CMEs. The H{\alpha} observations of these flares (taken with 15 cm Solar Tower Telescope at ARIES,…
In this study, we investigate thermospheric neutral mass density heating associated with 168 CME-driven geomagnetic storms in the period of May 2001 to September 2011. We use neutral density measured by two low-Earth orbit satellites: CHAMP…
This investigation is directed to understand the asymmetry in $\Delta$X variations caused due to the relative roles played by IMF Bz and IMF By in a particular interval (22:22 - 22:55 UT), during the main phase of a strong geomagnetic storm…
The effect of the main phase of two intense geomagnetic storm events which occurred on August 5 - 6 and September 26 - 27, 2011 on the equatorial ionosphere have been investigated using Global Positioning System (GPS) data obtained from an…
The 23-24 April 2023 double-peak (SYM-H intensities of -179 and -233 nT) intense geomagnetic storm was caused by interplanetary magnetic field southward component Bs associated with an interplanetary fast-forward shock-preceded sheath (Bs…
A detailed investigation was carried out to understand a prolonged (~44 hours) weakly southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF-Bz) condition during May 02--04, 1998. In-situ observations, during the period, showed the passage of an…
We use OpenGGCM global MHD simulations to study the nightside magnetospheric, magnetotail, and ionospheric responses to interplanetary (IP) fa st forward shocks. Three cases are presented in this study: two inclined oblique shocks, here…
Geomagnetic storms drive complex ionospheric responses through coupled electrodynamic and thermospheric processes, yet attributing storm-time TEC perturbations to specific mechanisms remains challenging. We investigate the ionospheric…
Study of the dynamic nature of low-latitude ionosphere during geomagnetically disturbed conditions, especially in the EIA and the magnetic equatorial regions are vital for understanding the underlying physics as well as for mitigating space…
It is known that the magnetic field of the Earth's closed magnetosphere can be highly displaced from the quiet-day configuration when interacting with the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), an asymmetry largely controlled by the dawn-dusk…
Using a three-dimensional nonhydrostatic general circulation model, we investigate the response of the thermosphere-ionosphere system to the 5-6 August 2011 major geomagnetic storm. The model is driven by measured storm-time input data of…
The review presents analysis and physical interpretation of available statistical data about solar wind plasma and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) properties as measured in-situ at 1 A.U. by numerous space experiments during time period…
We characterize the response of the quiet time (no substorms or storms) large-scale ionospheric transient equivalent currents to north-south and south-north IMF turnings by using a dynamical network of ground-based magnetometers. Canonical…
Solar eclipses provide an excellent opportunity to study the effects of a sudden localized change in photoionization flux in the Earth's ionosphere and its consequent repercussion in the Geomagnetic field. We have focused on a subset of the…
Near-equatorial great enhancements of the quasi-trapped >30 keV electrons at low-altitudes are studied during strong geomagnetic storms. We have found that the transient phenomenon often began at the morning and was capable to live several…
Observations of energetic electrons (10 - 300 keV) by NOAA/POES and DMSP satellites at heights <1000 km during the period from 1999 to 2010 allowed finding abnormal intense fluxes of ~10^6 - 10^7 cm-2 s-1 sr-1 for quasi-trapped electrons…
Interplanetary (IP) shock plays a key role in causing the global dynamic changes of the geospace environment. For the perspective of Solar-Terrestrial relationship, it will be of great importance to estimate the properties of post-shock…
Simulation results from the NRL ionospheric model SAMI2 indicate that the changes in the F-region over Millstone Hill during the geomagnetic storm beginning on 3 April 2004 are primarily due to the influence of a long-lasting eastward…
