1-Disturbances of Satcom, GNSS and Earth observations
What sort of disturbances do users of Satcom, GNSS and earth observation space systems have to deal with? Radio signal variations due to passing through the ionosphere, e.g. delay and amplitude
2-Space weather and its impact on the Earth's environment and spheres
Definition of space weather
Earth: atmosphere (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere), thermosphere and ionosphere, plasmasphere, magnetosphere
Heliosphere and the Sun
3-Intro to the Ionosphere
Radio waves in the ionosphere
4-Ionospheric Weather and Climate - dynamics
The ionosphere as a dynamical system which changes over time (days, seasons, solar cycle) and place (equator, mid-latitude, high-latitude, North, South)
5-Drivers of ionospheric Weather
Solar drivers: top down
Earth drivers: bottom up
6-Extreme space storms and impacts
7-Observations
Global parameters (climatological and weather) info on space storms.
Observation at the Solar-Terrestrial Centre of Excellence
