Analysis of the ionospheric parameter dynamics on the basis of a generalized multicomponent model

In the present paper, we have carried out an analysis of the ionospheric critical frequency data of the F2 layer during strong magnetic storms in 2017-2018. The ionospheric data of Paratunka (IKIR FEB RAS, Kamchatka, 53.0 N, 158.7 E), Wakkanai (Japan, 45.16 N, 141.75 E), and Moscow stations (Russia,...

Description
Summary:In the present paper, we have carried out an analysis of the ionospheric critical frequency data of the F2 layer during strong magnetic storms in 2017-2018. The ionospheric data of Paratunka (IKIR FEB RAS, Kamchatka, 53.0 N, 158.7 E), Wakkanai (Japan, 45.16 N, 141.75 E), and Moscow stations (Russia, 55.49 N, 37.29 E) were used. The study was carried out using a generalized multicomponent model (GMCM) developed by the authors. GMCM allows studying the dynamics of the ionospheric parameters in detail and estimating their characteristics. Using the modeling, we detected and studied anomalous changes in the ionosphere preceding and accompanying the periods of magnetic storms in the analyzed areas. The study results were compared with the traditional median method and showed the perspectiveness of GMCM.
