Abstract

In this study, the response to geomagnetic storms of the ionospheric F2 layer critical frequency (foF2) was investigated at the magnetic conjugate points. The hourly foF2 data observed at the magnetic conjugate points of middle and high latitudes for the geomagnetic stormy days around both of 1976 and foF2 data received from IRI-2016 Model for same points were used. The foF2 data observed in magnetic conjugate points and received from IRI Model were examined using the superposed epoch analysis method and the results obtained were compared. From the results of analysis, it was observed that the foF2 data observed at magnetic conjugate points and received from IRI Model simultaneously respond to geomagnetic activity changes for both the middle latitudes and the high latitudes.
