Ionospheric Variability During the 10 October 2024 Geomagnetic Storm: A Regional Analysis Across Europe
2025
Overview
This study examines the ionospheric response to the intense geomagnetic storm of 9–12 October 2024 over the European sector. Digisonde data from mid-latitude European stations and in situ electron density measurements from Swarm A and B satellites were used to analyze variations in key ionospheric characteristics, including the critical frequency (foF2), peak height (hmF2) and plasma drift velocities. Significant uplift of the F2 layer and a corresponding reduction in foF2 were observed across latitudes, primarily driven by prompt penetration electric fields (PPEFs) and storm-induced thermospheric winds. Horizontal and vertical ion drifts showed large asymmetries and reversals, with zonal drift velocities exceeding 1000 m/s at some stations. Swarm observations confirmed plasma density enhancements during the main phase and notable depletions during recovery, particularly after 1:00 UT on 11 October. The midlatitude ionospheric trough (MIT) intensified during the recovery phase, as can be seen from Swarm B. These variations were shaped by electrodynamic forcing, compositional changes and disturbance dynamo electric fields (DDEFs). The results emphasize the role of solar wind drivers, latitude-dependent electrodynamic coupling and thermospheric dynamics in mid-latitude ionospheric variability during geomagnetic storms.
