Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit your manuscripts to a Special Issue of the open-access journal Atmosphere entitled “Geomagnetic Storms and Their Influence on Atmosphere–Ionosphere Coupling”.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to present new research in the field of atmosphere–ionosphere interaction during geomagnetic storms. Geomagnetic storms are one of the most powerful factors influencing the Earth’s atmosphere. They strongly perturb the ionosphere at high, middle and low latitudes. Geomagnetic storms induce changes in the electron density in the ionosphere, F2 layer height and total electron content (TEC) according to measurements of the signals of global navigation satellite systems. They impact atmospheric electricity, affect radio wave propagation and the absorption of different frequencies. Changes of parameters and the composition of the middle and lower atmosphere are reported, including the atmospheric ozone concentration during storms. Some researchers report that in the mesosphere and lower atmosphere the influence of geomagnetic storms becomes weaker than in the ionosphere. In this regard, in recent decades, the problem of studying the mechanisms of interaction between the lower atmosphere and the ionosphere during a magnetic storm, including the study of the correlation of phenomena occurring in the lower atmosphere (troposphere and stratosphere), have been actively discussed.

We invite you to submit your original research and review articles covering, but not limited to, these topics in this Special Issue. We welcome contributions related to all aspects of the study of the effects of magnetic storms on atmosphere–ionosphere coupling based on observations, including ground and space experiments, as well as theoretical and modeling studies.

It has been found in experiments at the SURA mid-latitude heating facility that the modification of the ionospheric F2 layer by powerful HF radio waves gives rise to artificial injection of energetic electrons from the Earth’s radiation belt into the atmosphere. The spectral, energy, and spatial characteristics of such an injection are presented in the paper. It is significant that the energetic electrons excite the atoms and molecules of the atmosphere to Rydberg energy levels, followed by the transition of the excited atoms and molecules to lower energy states, accompanied by the radiation of the microwave electromagnetic emissions. It has been shown that the artificial injection of energetic electrons can be considered as an independent powerful source of generation of secondary artificial turbulence, the effect of which manifests itself at ionospheric and mesospheric heights both near the heating facility and at a large distance from it up to a thousand or more kilometers. Examples of such generation are given. Full article

The role of energetic particle precipitation in the formation of thermospheric tides is investigated. Using the Global Self-consistent Model of the Thermosphere, Ionosphere, and Protonosphere (GSM TIP) and two models of energetic particle precipitation, APM (Auroral Precipitation Model) and AIMOS 2.0.-AISstorm (Atmospheric Ionization Module Osnabrück 2.0—Atmospheric Ionization during Substorms), we performed simulations for the period 3–12 September 2017. This period covers both geomagnetically quiet days and the storm of 7–8 September. The analysis shows that migrating tides diurnal wave (DW) and semidiurnal wave (SW) prevail on quiet days for both versions of the simulations. On the day of maximum storm development on 8 September and the day after—9 September, the nonmigrating components of tidal waves, mainly DW0 and SW0, are intensified. There are also increasing differences in the spatial structure of tides between the two versions of simulations, especially between diurnal and semidiurnal tides at 154 km. On the disturbance days, the amplitudes of diurnal and semidiurnal tides at 154 km in the APM version are markedly greater than the corresponding values in the AIMOS version. Thus, it should be noted that the integral characteristics of the ionization function from precipitations are more important for the formation of DW and SW than its spatial structure or the features of temporal variations. A comparison of the total electron content (TEC) maps for the two versions of the simulation showed that the AIMOS version nicely reproduces the experimental data for a quiet time. The APM version is less accurate for quiet time but simulates the quantitative increase to disturbed conditions at high and middle latitudes better. For model reproduction of observed TEC variations at low and equatorial latitudes, it is not enough to consider the thermospheric source of thermospheric tides. In this case, the role of atmosphere–ionosphere coupling is very important. Full article
