Scientific paper

Data from vertical-sounding stations are used to investigate variations of critical frequency and height of the F2-layer after the earth intersects the boundaries of IMF sectors during equinox periods in the declining phase of solar activity. It is shown that a sign change of the IMF produces ionospheric effects that are often comparable in magnitude with effects observed in the presence of flares and intense geomagnetic disturbances. Specifically, this sign change stimulates magnetospheric variations that lead to a planetary-scale restructuring of the ionosphere near the electron-density maximum.
