Stratospheric warming influence on HF radio wave propagation in the low-latitude ionosphere

摘要

The case of a strong sudden stratospheric warming (SSW), which took place on January 23–27, 2009 has been selected for study. This period was characterized by low solar (F ～ 70) and geomagnetic (K < 3) activity. Peak warming accounted for on January 23–24. We present our investigation results of thermosphere-ionosphere response to the SSW obtained using Global Self-consistent Model of the Thermosphere, Ionosphere and Protonosphere (GSM TIP).
