Abstract

Ionospheric drift measurements in the LF range which normally permit reliable monitoring of circulation and tidal wind systems in the upper mesopause region may be misinterpreted during geomagnetic storms. These cause primary disturbances of the wind fields in the upper atmosphere by plasma heating and electric fields. A recording effect arises from an increase in the reflection level, so that the measurements relate to a different altitude with different wind conditions.
