Abstract

Space weather phenomena, particularly storms and ionospheric disturbances, profoundly impact communication and navigation systems reliant on satellite signals. Among these disturbances, Storm Enhanced Density (SED) and ionospheric scintillation are of significant concern due to their potential to disrupt satellite-based operations. This study investigates the intricate relationship between SED and ionospheric scintillation, aiming to elucidate the underlying dynamics. Through empirical analysis and computational modeling, we unveil the mechanisms linking SED events to ionospheric scintillation, shedding light on the complexities of space weather phenomena.
