[2415] Ionosphere / Equatorial Ionosphere

Scientific paper

This study investigates the ionospheric effects of the magnetic storm of April 5th, 2010. Using ionospheric data recorded with a SCINDA GPS receiver installed in Abidjan (Lat=5.3o N, Long=3.9o W), an equatorial station, we analyzed the variation of the ionospheric scintillation and the TEC during the storm. The ionospheric scintillation is characterized with the so called scintillation index S4.To reduce the multipath effects on the scintillation,S4 values recorded at elevation angle lower than 30o according to the criteria of Otsuka et al., (2006). The TEC is calibrated using the technique by Carrano et al., (2009). The TEC shows two phases of increasing followed by a depression during the main phase of the storm
