Zusammenfassung |
The method earlier used
for the foF2 long-term trends analysis is applied to reveal hmF2
long-term trends at 27 ionosonde stations in the European and Asian
longitudinal sectors. Observed M(3000)F2 data for the last 3 solar cycles are
used to derive hmF2 trends. The majority of the studied stations show
significant hmF2 linear trends with a confidence level of at least 95%
for the period after 1965, with most of these trends being positive. No
systematic variation of the trend magnitude with latitude is revealed, but some
longitudinal effect does take place. The proposed geomagnetic storm concept to
explain hmF2 long-term trends proceeds from a natural origin of the
trends rather than an artificial one related to the thermosphere cooling due to
the greenhouse effect.
