Influence of helio-geophysical activity on reliability of short-wave communication in transport

Abstract

The results of studies of the influence of coronal mass ejections and high-velocity solar wind streams on the characteristics of the ionosphere are presented. The analysis uses ionospheric data from the CADI vertical sounding station (Vasilsursk, Nizhny Novgorod region) and data from chirp stations for oblique ionospheric sounding on different paths of the Eurasian region of Russia: three subauroral (Lovozero-Vasilsursk, Sodankyulya-Vasilsursk and Salekhard-Vasilsursk) and one mid-latitude (Gorky, Leningrad region-Vasilsursk). A set of space weather parameters (type and speed of coronal mass ejections, high-speed solar wind speed) is considered, which made it possible to reveal the dominant physical relationships between the ionospheric dynamics and these two solar phenomena, which determine the reliability of short-wave radio communication between ships and the coast, especially in the area of the northern sea way.

Keywords: space weather, heliogeophysical activity, shortwave radio communication, technosphere safety, naval transport, ionosphere, ionospheric disturbances, vertical sounding, oblique sounding
