A statistical study of solar radio Type III bursts and space weather implication
Ndacyayisenga, Theogene; Uwamahoro, Jean; Monstein, Christian +1 more
Solar radio bursts (SRBs) are the signatures of various phenomenon that happen in the solar corona and interplanetary medium (IPM). In this article, we have studied occurrence of Type III bursts and their association with the Sunspot number. This study confirms that occurrence of Type III bursts correlate well with Sunspot number. Further, using t…
Responses of the Indian Equatorial Ionization Anomaly to two CME-induced geomagnetic storms during the peak phase of solar cycle 24
Akala, A. O.; Oyedokun, O. J.; Simi, K. G. +4 more
This work analyzes the geo-effectiveness of Coronal Mass Ejection- (CME-) induced storms by investigating the responses of ionospheric Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) and the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) over the Indian sector to two storms. One of the storms occurred on February 19, 2014 (SYM-H: -120 nT), while the other occurred on…
Trends and characteristics of high-frequency type II bursts detected by CALLISTO spectrometers
Kumari, A.; Monstein, C.; Sasikumar Raja, K. +2 more
Solar radio type II bursts serve as early indicators of incoming geo-effective space weather events such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). In order to investigate the origin of high-frequency type II bursts (HF type II bursts), we have identified 51 of them (among 180 type II bursts from SWPC reports) that are observed by ground-based Compound Ast…
The connection between space weather and Single Event Upsets in polar low earth orbit satellites
Katz, Sari; Goldvais, Uriel; Price, Colin
Space weather is driven and modulated by the activity in the Sun. Space weather events have the potential to inflict critical damage to space systems. Nowadays, space assets are essential in our basic needs, such as communications, cell phone networks, navigation systems, television and internet. Hence, understanding space weather dynamics and its…
