Investigating Perturbation Electric Fields and Their Effects on the Coupled Low-, Mid- and High-latitude Ionosphere

Abstract

This 12-month project conducted detailed studies on the 22 October 1999 great storm, 5 May 2005 superstorm and 21 January 2005 moderate storm. Our main aim was to investigate the various types of perturbation electric fields and their effects on the coupled regions of the low-, mid- and high-latitude ionosphere. Our findings are published already or will be published soon with JGR Space Physics. These studies produced significant scientific results regarding the specification of storm-related electric field events, the description of resultant ionospheric features and the analysis of CTIPe (Coupled Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Plasmasphere Electrodynamics) generated model simulations.
