On the Interpretation of Ionization in the Lower Ionosphere Occurring on Both Day and Night Side of the Earth within a Few Hours after some Solar Flares
By: Bengt Hultqvist
Abstract
Some strong solar flares cause very strong absorption in high geomagnetic latitudes on both day and night sides of the earth. The absorption effect is measurable a few hours after the solar flare outbreak. It is shown that the effect can be interpreted as being caused by a high-energy-ion beam of very small density, emitted from the sun and moving in Störmer orbits.
