Scientific paper

Sporadic-E is a problem in high latitude HF communications because of its irregular and as yet unpredictable behaviour. This paper characterises the change in E-layer critical frequency (foE) that occurs in the four hours following a storm sudden commencement (SSC) event which is a precursor to magnetospheric storms which adversely affect ionospheric communications. Following checks for any seasonal or solar activity dependency in the data, further analysis determines the occurrence of full blanketing (screening) Sporadic-E layer formation at high latitudes as seen on vertical ionosondes in Northern Finland (67° Latitude). An appropriate threshold value of foE is proposed that could be used following the commencement of ionospheric storms, indicating that there is a high probability that F-layer screening will occur. As far as the authors are aware this is the first statistical analysis of the onset of Sporadic-E following SSC.
