18th December, 1999, February 20th, 2001 and 12th August, 2003 marked the launch dates of three Canadian atmospheric experiments: MOPITT, Odin/OSIRIS and SciSat/ACE. These three satellites, launched in the space of less than four years share another enviable characteristic: They are all still working after 13-16 years and between them they have accumulated over 45 years of on-orbit operating...

Shock waves produced in front of coronal mass ejections can accelerate solar energetic protons Earthward where they are guided by the Earth’s magnetic field into the high-latitude polar cap region. Energetic >10 MeV protons can penetrate into the ionosphere increasing ionization in the D-region causing a polar cap absorption (PCA) event potentially blocking out high frequency (HF) radio...

Ionospheric irregularities cause rapid fluctuations of radio wave amplitude and phase that can degrade GPS positional accuracy and affect performance of radio communication and navigation systems. The ionosphere becomes particularly disturbed during geomagnetic storms caused by impacts of coronal mass ejections compounded by high-speed plasma streams from coronal holes. Geomagnetic storm of...

Abstract. We have used ionosonde observations recorded at Ibadan (7.4 degree North, 3.9 degree East) during the International Geophysical year (1957-58) to investigate evening and nighttime characteristic features of equatorial ionosphere during high solar flux and quiet magnetic conditions. We have also used...

The Canadian face of the Resolute Bay Incoherent Scatter Radar (RISR-C) saw first light in August of 2015. To date, several different experiments measuring the polar ionosphere have been performed with RISR-C. These experiments are often complemented with data from the co-located northward facing RISR-N radar operated by SRI International. Like other Advanced Modular Incoherent Scatter...
