    Description: This study correlates different ionospheric parameters with the integrated solar extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV) radiation to analyze the delayed ionospheric response, testing and improving upon previous studies on the ionospheric delay. Several time series of correlation coefficients and delays are presented to characterize the trend of the ionospheric delay from January 2011 to December 2013. The impact of the diurnal variations of ionospheric parameters in the analysis at an hourly resolution for fixed locations are discussed and specified with calculations in different timescales and with comparison to solar and geomagnetic activity. An average delay for the total electron content (TEC) of ≈18.7 h and for foF2 of ≈18.6 h is calculated at four European stations. The difference between the Northern and Southern hemispheres is analyzed by comparisons with the Australian region. A seasonal variation of the delay between the Northern and Southern hemispheres is calculated for TEC with ≈5±0.7 h and foF2 with ≈8±0.8 h. The latitudinal and longitudinal variability of the delay is analyzed for the European region, and found to be characterized by a decrease in the delay from ≈21.5 h at 30∘ N to ≈19.0 h at 70∘ N for summer months. For winter months, a roughly constant delay of ≈19.5 h is calculated. The results based on solar and ionospheric data at an hourly resolution and the analysis of the delayed ionospheric response to solar EUV show seasonal and latitudinal variations. Results also indicate a relationship of the ionospheric delay with geomagnetic activity and a possible correlation with the 11-year solar cycle in the analyzed time period.

    Description: We investigate the ionospheric response to solar Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) variations using different proxies, based on solar EUV spectra observed from the Solar Extreme Ultraviolet Experiment (SEE) onboard the Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite, the F10.7 index (solar irradiance at 10.7 cm), and the Bremen composite Mg-II index during January 2003 to December 2016. The daily mean solar proxies are compared with global mean Total Electron Content (GTEC) values calculated from global IGS TEC maps. The preliminary analysis shows a significant correlation between GTEC and both the integrated flux from SEE and the Mg II index, while F10.7 correlates less strongly with GTEC. The correlations of EUV proxies and GTEC at different time periods are presented. An ionospheric delay in GTEC is observed at the 27 days solar rotation period with the time scale of about ∼1–2 days. An experiment with the physics based global 3-D Coupled Thermosphere/Ionosphere Plasmasphere electrodynamics (CTIPe) numerical model was performed to reproduce the ionospheric delay. Model simulations were performed for different values of the F10.7 index while keeping all the other model inputs constant. Preliminary results qualitatively reproduce the observed ∼1–2 days delay in GTEC, which is might be due to vertical transport processes.

    Description: Physical and chemical processes in the ionosphere are driven by complex interactions with the solar radiation. The ionospheric plasma is in particular sensitive to solar EUV and UV variations with a time delay between one and two days. This delay is assumed to be related to thermospheric transport processes from the lower ionosphere to the F region. In previous analyses, the delay has been investigated using the F10.7 index. Here we present preliminary results of the ionospheric delay based on a comprehensive and reliable database consisting of GNSS TEC Maps and EUV spectral flux data. We plan to specify the various dependencies from geographic/geomagnetic location, altitude, season, local time, geophysical and solar radiation conditions such as the solar activity level. The first results for dependencies from seasons and wavelengths regions of the EUV are presented in this paper. These results can provide more insight into ionospheric processes and are of interest for applications dependent on reliable ionospheric weather forecasts, e.g. GNSS error analyses, prediction and mitigation.

    Description: This study correlates different ionospheric parameters with the integrated solar EUV radiation for an analysis of the delayed ionospheric response in order to confirm previous studies on the delay and to further specify variations of the delay. Several time series for correlation coefficients and delays are presented to characterize the trend of the delay from 2011 to 2013. The impact of the diurnal variations of ionospheric parameters in the analysis on hourly resolution for fixed locations are discussed and specified with calculations in different time scales and with comparison to solar and geomagnetic activity. An average delay for TEC of ≈ 18.7 hours and for foF2 of ≈ 18.6 hours is calculated at four European stations. Through comparison with the Australian region the difference between northern and southern hemisphere is analyzed and a seasonal variation of the delay between northern and southern hemisphere is calculated for TEC with ≈ 5 ± 0.7 hours and foF2 with ≈ 8 ± 0.8 hours. The latitudinal and longitudinal variability of the delay is analyzed for the European region and a decrease of the delay from ≈ 21.5 hours at 30° N to ≈ 19.0 hours at 70° N has been found. For winter months a roughly constant delay of ≈ 19.5 hours is calculated. In this study a North-South trend of the ionospheric delay during summer month has been observed with ≈ 0.06 hours per degree in latitude. The results based on solar and ionospheric data in hourly resolution and the analysis of the delayed ionospheric response to solar EUV show the seasonal and latitudinal variations. Results also indicate the dependence on the geomagnetic activity as well as on the 11-year solar cycle.

    Description: The ionospheric total electron content (TEC) provided by the International GNSS Service (IGS) and the TEC simulated by the Coupled Thermosphere Ionosphere Plasmasphere Electrodynamics (CTIPe) model have been used to investigate the delayed ionospheric response against solar flux and its trend during the years 2011 to 2013. The analysis of the distinct low-latitude and midlatitude TEC response over 15∘ E shows a better correlation of observed TEC and the solar radio flux index F10.7 in the Southern Hemisphere compared to the Northern Hemisphere. Thus, a significant hemispheric asymmetry is observed. The ionospheric delay estimated using model-simulated TEC is in good agreement with the delay estimated for observed TEC against the flux measured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) extreme ultraviolet (EUV) Variability Experiment (EVE). The average delay for the observed (modeled) TEC is 17(16) h. The average delay calculated for observed and modeled TEC is 1 and 2 h longer in the Southern Hemisphere compared to the Northern Hemisphere. Furthermore, the observed TEC is compared with the modeled TEC simulated using the SOLAR2000 and EUVAC flux models within CTIPe over northern and southern hemispheric grid points. The analysis suggests that TEC simulated using the SOLAR2000 flux model overestimates the observed TEC, which is not the case when using the EUVAC flux model.
