This study presents observations of nighttime spread F/ionospheric irregularities and spread Es at low and middle latitudes in the South East Asia longitude of China sectors during the recovery phase of the 7–9 September 2017 geomagnetic storm. In this study, multiple observations, including a chain of three ionosondes located about the longitude of 100°E, Swarm satellites, and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) ROTI maps, were used to study the development process and evolution characteristics of the nighttime spread F/ionospheric irregularities at low and middle latitudes. Interestingly, spread F and intense spread Es were simultaneously observed by three ionosondes during the recovery phase. Moreover, associated ionospheric irregularities could be observed by Swarm satellites and ground-based GNSS ionospheric TEC. Nighttime spread F and spread Es at low and middle latitudes might be due to multiple off-vertical reflection echoes from the large-scale tilts in the bottom ionosphere. In addition, we found that the periods of the disturbance ionosphere are ~1 h at ZHY station, ~1.5 h at LSH station and ~1 h at PUR station, respectively. It suggested that the large-scale tilts in the bottom ionosphere might be produced by LSTIDs (Large scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances), which might be induced by the high-latitude energy inputs during the recovery phase of this storm. Furthermore, the associated ionospheric irregularities observed by satellites and ground-based GNSS receivers might be caused by the local electric field induced by LSTIDs.

Abstract. During magnetic storms an anomalous increase in the ionization density of the nighttime E region is observed at low and middle latitudes. It has been suggested that this effect is caused by the precipitation of neutralized ring current particles. Here a coupled ring current decay-ionosphere model is used to confirm the validity of this explanation.

The technique of using instantaneous maps for ionospheric storm studies is further developed. Integral parameters are introduced characterizing the main features of each map. These parameters are the net volumes of ?f0F2, ?M(3000)F2and their gradients. The magnetic storm 1-2 March, 1982 was considered and it was found that before the storm commencement and in recovery phase the Net Gradient (NG) is directed steadily to the East, while in the main phase it turns southward. NG shows where the changes of the F-layer come from. The net volume of ?f0F2 (NF) correlates well with Dst and AE indices.

A full halo coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are most energetic solar events that eject huge amount of mass and magnetic fields into heliosphere with 360o angular angle. The full halo CME effect on the ionosphere can be determined from the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) derived from GPS data. GPS data from BAKO station in Cibinong, satellite orbital data (brcd files) and intrumental bias data (DCB files) have been used to obtain TEC using GOPI software. Analysis of  the full halo CME data, Dst index, and TEC during October 2003 and February 2014 showed that the full halo CME could cause ionospheric disturbances called ionospheric storms. Magnitude and time delay of the ionospheric storms  depended on the full halo CME speed. For the high-speed full halo CME, the negative ionospheric storm generally occured during recovery phase of the geomagnetic storm. When the initial phase of geomagnetic disturbance with increasing Dst index more than +30 nT, the ionospheric storm occured during main phase of geomagnetic disturbance although the main phase of geomagnetic disturbance did not reach geomagnetic storm condition. ABSTRAKCoronal mass ejection  (CME) halo penuh merupakan peristiwa matahari  berenergi tinggi, yang menyemburkan massa dan medan magnet ke heliosfer dengan sudut angular sebesar 360º. Efek  CME halo penuh pada ionosfer dapat diketahui dari Total Electron Content (TEC). Data GPS BAKO di Cibinong, data orbit satelit (file brcd) dan data bias instrumental (file DCB) dapat digunakan untuk penentuan TEC menggunakan software GOPI. Analisis data CME halo penuh, indeks Dst, dan TEC selama bulan Oktober 2003 dan Februari 2014 menunjukkan bahwa CME halo penuh dapat menimbulkan gangguan ionosfer yang disebut badai ionosfer. Besar dan selang waktu badai ionosfer setelah terjadinya CME, tergantung pada kelajuan CME halo penuh. Untuk CME halo penuh berkelajuan tinggi, badai ionosfer negatif umumnya terjadi pada fase pemulihan badai geomagnet. Jika fase awal gangguan geomagnet diawali dengan peningkatan indeks Dst melebihi +30 nT, maka badai ionosfer dapat terjadi pada fase utama gangguan geomagnet walau gangguan geomagnet setelah  fase awal tidak mencapai kondisi badai geomagnet.

Abstract. Observations made by the DMSP F10 satellite during the recovery phase from geomagnetic disturbances in June 1991 show regions of He+ dominance around 830 km altitude at 09:00 MLT. These regions are co-located with a trough in ionisation observed around 55° in the winter hemisphere. Plasma temperature and concentration observations made during the severe geomagnetic storm of 24 March 1991 are used as a case study to determine the effects of geomagnetic disturbances along the orbit of the F10 satellite. Previous explanations for He+ dominance in this trough region relate to the part of the respective flux tubes that is in darkness. Such conditions are not relevant for this study, since the whole of the respective flux tubes are sunlit. A new mechanism is proposed to explain the He+ dominance in the trough region. This mechanism is based on plasma transport and chemical reaction effects in the F-region and topside ionosphere, and on the time scales for such chemical reactions. Flux tubes previously depleted by geomagnetic storm effects refill during the recovery phase from the ionosphere as a result of pressure differences along the flux tubes. Following a geomagnetic disturbance, the He+ ion recovers quickly via the rapid photoionisation of neutral helium, in the F-region and the topside. The recovery of the O+ and H+ ions is less rapid. This is proposed as a result of the respective charge exchange reactions with neutral atomic hydrogen and oxygen. Preliminary model calculations support the proposed mechanism.Key words.
