Analysis of Ionospheric Irregularities in Low Latitude During Geomagnetic Storm Using GISTM Network

This research analyzed ionospheric irregularities and variability in the Equatorial Ionospheric Anomaly (EIA), particularly in the equatorward, southern and northern crest over Indonesia are characterized using GISTM (GPS Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC Monitor) receivers at low-latitude to St. Patrick’s storm occurred on 17 March 2015. The results show the temporal and spatial of ionospheric responses as seen by geomagnetic condition (Dst and Kp indices) and GISTM receivers (TEC variations and spatial ionospheric scintillation (S4 index) during storm period in March 2015 at four stations over Indonesia. The analysis shows that the EIA is significantly disturbed during main phase and recovery phase of storm period.
