Scientific paper

In this paper, a study is made on the variations in critical frequency of the F2-layer at Baguio, a place very near the boundary of the F2-equatorial zone, both for some typical individual storms and collectively for 71 SC-type magnetic storms in the IGY-IGC period. It is found that the changes in [latin small letter f with hook]0F2 at Baguio (16.4°N, 120.6°E; I = 19°N) are primarily governed by the local time of sudden commencement of the magnetic storm and the way it develops with time. The local seasonal conditions seem to show little influence. This finding is consistent with the results of our earlier studies of [latin small letter f with hook]0F2 data at other low-latitude and equatorial stations. In addition, it is found that significant changes in [latin small letter f with hook]0F2 also occur just after the SC in the initial phase i.e. even before the onset of the main phase of the storm. The SD variation of [latin small letter f with hook]0F2 at Baguio is similar to that of an equatorial station but the Dst variation shows the characteristics of both a low-latitude and an equatorial station.
