Abstract: | The measurements of an increase in the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere during solar flares, obtained based
on the GPS data, indicated that up to 30% of TEC increments corresponded to the ionospheric regions above 300 km altitude
in some cases, and TEC increased mainly below altitudes of 300 km in other cases. The theoretical model of the ionosphere
and plasmasphere was used to study the obtained effects. The altitude-time variations in the charged particle density in the
ionospheric region from 100 to 1000 km were used depending on the solar flare spectrum. An analysis of the modeling results
indicated that an intensification of the flare UV emission in the 55–65 and 85–95 nm spectral ranges results in a pronounced
increase in the electron density in the topside ionosphere (above 300 km). The experimental dependences of the ionospheric
TEC response amplitude on the localization and peak power of flares on the Sun in the X-ray range, obtained based on the GPS
data, are also presented in the work. |
