The effect of geomagnetic storms on the mid-high latitude F2 region is studied. For that, foF2 data from four Antarctic stations were analyzed during three intense magnetic storms occurred in high solar activity (years 2002 and 2003). In general, negative storm effects irrespective of the local time...
