Ionospheric Storm Morphology

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Geophysics ((SPRINGERGEOPHYS))

Abstract

Covers the characteristics of the most significant ionospheric storms generated by space weather events and/or variable solar conditions during the last three Solar Cycles (SC 22-24). The origins of storm morphology are discussed using ionosonde measurements and GNSS observations.
