    Abstract
  • Knowledge of ionospheric responses to geomagnetic storms is important for knowing about the physical process of ionosphere, and useful for ionospheric application research as well. This paper analyzed and compared the ionospheric responses to four geomagnetic storms in four seasons in 2015, based on the ionospheric observations from Mohe (53.5°N, 122.3°E), Beijing (40.3°N, 116.2°E), Wuhan (30.5°N, 114.2°E), Sanya (18.3°N, 109.6°E) in China. The responses of ionosphere to four geomagnetic storms are different and have significant seasonal dependence. There are prominent negative responses during storms in spring, summer or autumn, and significant positive responses in winter. It is shown that neutral composition (O/N2) is related to the negative phase storm, while westward Disturbance Dynamo Electric Field (DDEF) is responsible for the negative storm in Sanya. The reason of ionospheric positive response is different in different events. The Penetration of Electric Field (PEF) may cause a short-time positive response during the geomagnetic storm in spring, whereas neutral wind and PEFs are jointly responsible for the long-duration positive response during the storm in winter.
