  2. Ionospheric storm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionospheric_storm

    Ionospheric storms can happen at any time and location. [6] F-region and D-region ionospheric storms are also considered main categories of ionospheric storms. The F-region storms occur due to sudden increases of energised electrons instilled into Earth's ionosphere. The F-region is the highest region of the ionosphere.

  3. Riometer - Wikipedia

    It shown an event which causes an increased ionospheric absorption. A riometer (commonly r elative i onospheric o pacity meter, although originally: R elative I onospheric O pacity M eter for E xtra- T errestrial E missions of R adio noise [ 1 ] ) is an instrument used to quantify the amount of electromagnetic-wave ionospheric absorption in the ...

  4. Sudden ionospheric disturbance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_ionospheric_disturbance

    A sudden ionospheric disturbance (SID) is any one of several ionospheric perturbations, resulting from abnormally high ionization/plasma density in the D region of the ionosphere and caused by a solar flare and/or solar particle event (SPE).

  5. Ionosphere - Wikipedia

    Ionospheric layers. At night the F layer is the only layer of significant ionization present, while the ionization in the E and D layers is extremely low. During the day, the D and E layers become much more heavily ionized, as does the F layer, which develops an additional, weaker region of ionisation known as the F 1 layer.

    Requires a higher level of patient understanding and concentration compared to other visual field tests [9] Time-consuming; Learning effect: new patients improve as more tests are performed due to understanding of the test conditions. Consider the third test as the baseline result [23] Potential for artefacts (i.e. uncharacteristic vision loss ...

  8. Duochrome test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duochrome_test

    The eye with overactive accommodation may still require too much minus sphere in order to balance the red and green. Cycloplegia may be necessary. The duochrome test is not used with patients whose visual acuity is worse than 20/30 (6/9), because the 0.50 D difference between the two sides is too small to distinguish.

  9. Ionospheric pierce point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionospheric_pierce_point

    The IPP or Ionospheric Pierce Point is the altitude in the ionosphere where electron density is greatest. [ 1 ] These points can change based on factors like time of day, solar activity, and geographical location, which all influence ionospheric conditions.
