Citizen scientists help map geomagnetic superstorm's ionospheric impact

Citizen scientists help map geomagnetic superstorm's ionospheric impact

  • As seen across North America at sometimes surprisingly low latitudes, brilliant auroral displays provide evidence of solar activity in the night sky. More is going on than the familiar visible light shows during these events,

The article from MSN discusses how citizen scientists are contributing to a study on the effects of a geomagnetic superstorm on Earth's ionosphere. This research, published in the journal Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, utilized data from the HamSCI network, which includes amateur radio operators. During the geomagnetic storm in March 2015, these citizen scientists provided critical data by observing and reporting on the propagation of radio signals, which are influenced by ionospheric changes. The study found that the storm caused significant disruptions in the ionosphere, leading to unusual radio signal behaviors, such as signals traveling much further than usual due to the altered ionospheric conditions. This citizen science approach not only helps in understanding space weather impacts but also highlights the value of community involvement in scientific research.
