Earth Sciences Sector Solar X-rays effects on the Ionosphere Donald Danskin Natural Resources Canada European Space Weather Week – Oostende, Belgium November 23-27, 2015

Earth Sciences Sector Introduction X-ray flares on the Sun cause absorption of radio waves in the D region (~ km) of the ionosphere. Data from the Canadian riometer network and GOES satellites are used to evaluate how much absorption occurs due to the X-ray bursts. The variation with solar zenith angle is studied. Consideration of the region on the Sun on absorption

Peak Flux

Earth Sciences Sector Canadian Riometer Array is funded in part by the Canadian Space Agency through CGSM grants. E. Donovan and E. Spanswick are principal investigators for the NORStar part of the array, D. Danskin manages the NRCan riometers. Conclusion The ionospheric response time is ~ s. A linear trend of absorption with cosine of solar zenith angle is prevalent. Absorption is dependent on sqrt(flux 1-8Å) An upper limit on potential absorption is observed Further parameters must be studied, including other ways that differentiate or classify the X-ray flares effects.
