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…
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…
Certain forms of solar wind transients contain significant enhancements of dynamic pressure and may effectively drive magnetosphere dynamics, including substorms and storms. An integral element of such driving is the generation of a wide…
