Scientific paper

Over the past five years, simultaneous incoherent scatter and optical observations have been obtained at Arecibo, Puerto Rico, during two major geomagnetic storms. The first storm examined occurred during the World Day campaign of January 12-16, 1988, where on January 14, 1988, Kp values greater than 7 were recorded. The second storm examined occurred on the night of July 13-14, 1985, when Kp values reached only 4+, but the ionosphere and thermosphere responded in a similar manner as they did in January 1988. Results obtained indicate that major storm effects in thermospheric winds and composition propagate to low latitudes and have a pronounced effect on the ionospheric structure over Arecibo.
