The high-altitude ionospheric observations made during the geomagentic storm of March 1989 are reviewed, with emphasis made on data supplied by the polar-orbiting DMSP satellites. These data show that most of the high-latitude, top-side ionospheric disturbance occurred on March 13 and 14. The major features of the March 1989 storm were the same as usually observed during a minor storm, but with the magnitude of many (but not all) features increased from normal storm values. Among these were the total energy flux and the cross polar-cap potential, which both increased as the width and the breadth of the auroral zone increased. While only high-latitude regions were directly affected by the input of energy from the magnetosphere, the ionosphere at all altitudes was affected by the storm.
