The Cause and Effect of Geoeffective Emission From Solar Flares
Abstract
From the proposal: The ultimate goal of this work will be to determine which characteristics of solar flares generate the greatest impact on the terrestrial ionosphere, and where in our atmosphere different spectral emission is deposited. The atmospheric response will be determined by sampling the different regions of the ionosphere simultaneously using a global network of ionospheric monitors; the D-layer response can be inferred from VLF radio signals, ground-based magnetometers can detect current induced in the E-layer, while total electron content (TEC) measurements from GPS satellites can sample the F-layer (~150-800km).
