Abstract
We present the first report of global ionospheric disturbances due to the most powerful Gamma Ray Burst GRB221009A occurred on 9 October 2022. Very Low Frequency (VLF) and Low Frequency (LF) sub-ionospheric radio signals are used to diagnose the effect of the GRB on the lower ionosphere. Both daytime and nighttime effects are analyzed in VLF and LF bands. The magnitude of VLF signal perturbations varied with the propagation condition (day/night), path length, and frequency of the signal. The recovery times for the VLF/LF signals to get back to their pre-GRB levels varied from 2–60 min. Radio signals reflected from the E-region ionosphere for nighttime VLF signals and daytime LF signals showed greater effects compared to the daytime VLF signals reflected from the lower parts of the D-region.
