  We use the first data set from the ground-based TEC and scintillation receiver located at the Norwegian Research Station Troll in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica to analyze in detail the ionospheric response during geomagnetic disturbances on February 26-27 and March 18-19, 2018. By combining the Troll data with complementary measurements (scintillation receivers, magnetometers, SuperDARN, DMSP satellites), we demonstrate that plasma irregularities above this part of Queen Maud Land can be associated with the expansion of the auroral oval, related structuring on its edges, as well as with strong flow shears in the evening and at nighttime, which are further modulated by the energetic particle precipitation. Phase scintillation indices correlate well with the magnetometer data.

Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  In this study, we present global climatological distributions of ionospheric plasma irregularities based on measurements by the Swarm satellites. These first global statistics obtained by direct, in situ measurements of plasma variations with Swarm confirm the presence of three main regions of strong ionospheric irregularities: the magnetic equator extending from postsunset to early morning, in the auroral ovals (from dayside cusp to nightside), and inside the polar caps. At equatorial latitudes, ionospheric irregularities form two bands of enhanced plasma fluctuations centered around ±10° magnetic latitude. Due to different plasma processes, ionospheric irregularities at high and low latitudes show different distributions. Though the averaged intensity of plasma irregularities is weaker at equatorial latitudes than at high latitudes, the occurrence rate of significant plasma fluctuations (corresponding to extreme events) is much higher at the equator than that at high latitudes. Equatorial irregularities display clear seasonal and longitudinal variations; that is, they are most prominent over South America during the December solstice and are located over Africa during the June solstice. The magnitude of ionospheric irregularities at all latitudes is strongly controlled by the solar activity. Ionospheric irregularities become significantly weaker after 2016 during the current declining phase of solar activity. The interplanetary magnetic field Bz modulates the occurrence of ionospheric irregularities at both high and low latitudes.

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate. ISSN 2115-7251. 7. doi: 10.1051/swsc/2017022. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  This paper investigates the relative scintillation level associated with cusp dynamics (including precipitation, flow shears, etc.) with and without the formation of polar cap patches around the cusp inflow region by the EISCAT Svalbard radar (ESR) and two GPS scintillation receivers. A series of polar cap patches were observed by the ESR between 8:40 and 10:20 UT on December 3, 2011. The polar cap patches combined with the auroral dynamics were associated with a significantly higher GPS phase scintillation level (up to 0.6 rad) than those observed for the other two alternatives, i.e., cusp dynamics without polar cap patches, and polar cap patches without cusp aurora. The cusp auroral dynamics without plasma patches were indeed related to GPS phase scintillations at a moderate level (up to 0.3 rad). The polar cap patches away from the active cusp were associated with sporadic and moderate GPS phase scintillations (up to 0.2 rad). The main conclusion is that the worst global navigation satellite system space weather events on the dayside occur when polar cap patches enter the polar cap and are subject to particle precipitation and flow shears, which is analogous to the nightside when polar cap patches exit the polar cap and enter the auroral oval.

  Every morning between about 06 UT and 11 UT, Svalbard rotates just below the cusps (dayside aurora), where direct coupling between the solar wind, magnetosphere and ionosphere occurs. This provides a unique window to study the dayside aurora and the highly dynamic processes associated with it, examples of which include electron and ion precipitation and heating, electrostatic and electromagnetic waves, as well as turbulence. In this work, we focus on the turbulence which, alongside with being of pure scientific interest, can also have societal impacts. Indeed, the “irregular” electron density structures associated with it can affect our technology infrastructures by for instance degrading High Frequency (HF) communication and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals. After briefly reviewing some of the mechanisms believed to be important in the development of turbulence in the high-latitude ionosphere, we present recent observations of density irregularities obtained by sounding rockets above Svalbard. We focus on measurements made as a part of the Grand Challenge Initiative (GCI) Cusp, an international project combining sounding rockets missions and ground-based instruments to study the cusps. We show detailed characterization of the nature of the irregularities including their phase velocity and wavelengths, helping shedding light onto the process(es) involved in their formation, especially at the scales important for Space weather applications.

• Adhikari, Sayan; Mukherjee, Rupak; Marholm, Sigvald & Miloch, Wojciech Jacek (2021). Development of a Deep Neural Network Model for Spacecraft Charging. Show summary

  A Deep Neural Network (DNN) model using the kinetic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulation data for spacecraft charging has been developed. The model will be able to predict the potential structure around the spacecraft based on the system parameters of any given system with certain accuracy. DNN provides an excellent tool where we could leverage deep learning for all machine learning tasks and expect better performance with surplus data availability. The usability of DNN is unlimited if a user can train such a model with physics-based parameters. In recent studies, it has shown promising outcomes in terms of accurate prediction of physical quantities[1-2]. In the present work, we used Tensorflow[3], a deep learning library, to classify the PIC simulation datasets. Using Tensorflow, we have compared the effects of multiple activation functions on classification results and developed a library for a case study. This work shows that integrating DNN into traditional computational methods might be the new beginning of developing next-generation modeling.

  This study uses the dataset from the all-sky camera and the ground-based TEC and scintillation receiver installed in Antarctica at the Norwegian Research Station Troll. The station is located just on the equatorward edge of the quiet auroral oval. Thus, the observatory is in an optimal location to study the ionospheric response to geomagnetic disturbances. The all-sky camera was calibrated. In addition, we use geomagnetic indices and information about the solar wind from NASA's OMNIWeb Service, in-situ data onboard low Earth orbiting satellites (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), Swarm mission), and the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN). Together with the ground-based GNSS scintillation receiver, a comprehensive analysis of the reasons for observing scintillations over the Troll station during the period of geomagnetic disturbances was carried out.

  The use of satellite data allows us to study the variability of ionospheric plasma parameters globally without references to ground stations or receivers in different regions of the Earth. The Swarm mission, which was launched in 2014 and is still operational, allows us to investigate the effects of decreasing solar activity on the ionospheric variability. In our study, we use the Swarm in-situ measurements of the electron density and derived parameters. This dataset provides characteristics of the plasma variability along the orbit and gives information on plasma density structures in the ionosphere in terms of their amplitudes, gradients and spatial scales. In this study, we focused on the investigation of variability of these parameters in northern and southern hemispheres. Understanding of the distribution of such parameters in the context of the solar activity level and selected ionospheric regions can have implications for the development of new satellite instruments and for the accuracy of GNSS precise positioning.

  Ionospheric irregularities are often the cause of GNSS precise positioning errors, as well as disruption of radio communications in the HF range. The reason for the occurrence of these irregularities can be various non-stationary processes in the near-Earth space plasma that depend on the response of the ionosphere to the variations in the near Earth space. Therefore, the study of ionospheric irregularities is an urgent scientific and applied problem. In this study we use a global product based on the Swarm satellite measurements that characterizes ionospheric irregularities and fluctuations. The IPIR (Ionospheric Plasma IRregularities product) provides characteristics of plasma density structures in the ionosphere, of plasma irregularities in terms of their amplitudes, gradients and spatial scales and assigns them to geomagnetic regions and consequently to predominant plasma processes. It also provides indication, in the form of a numerical value index, on their severity for the integrity of trans-ionospheric radio signals and hence the accuracy of GNSS precise positioning. In this work we made validations of the IPIR product against the ground-based measurements, focusing on GPS TEC and scintillation data in low latitudes regions.

  Ionospheric phenomena as a response to geomagnetic activity can be different at both hemispheres, in particular at high latitudes, due to the structure of the ionosphere, orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field and structure of the Earth magnetic field. This may have implications on large scale modeling and space weather forecasting. To understand these aspects, a significant number of studies which include both hemispheres are required. In order to study the asymmetry between the northern and southern hemispheres at high latitudes, we employ the GNSS TEC and scintillation monitors. We use data from a GNSS receiver at Troll station in Antarctica together with corresponding datasets from the northern hemisphere. We carry out detailed study of several representative events for different geomagnetic conditions. We characterize the GPS phase scintillations in the context of interhemispheric asymmetries, and also using other supportive ground based and satellite observations. This is the first study with data from the recently established ionospheric observatory at Troll station in Antarctica. It also forms a ground for more statistical study of interhemispheric asymmetries, where the first results are also shown.
