This paper brings analysis of spread-F echoes along the years of 2003 to 2012 from Christmas Island radar. We organize our data with the objective of observing the peak time and altitude distribution. Our results indicate the peak time occurrence of echoes to be distributed closer to local sunset during solar maximum and around midnight during solar minimum; meanwhile, the peak altitude echoes show higher altitude occurrences during solar maxima and lower altitudes during solar minima.

This study concerns postmidnight ionospheric irregularities observed during low solar activity conditions. We analyze data from digisondes and optical imaging systems located in an equatorial region over Brazil. The results show that they occur under unfavorable and unexpected conditions. This work can be useful for space weather forecasting during low solar activity.

This work presents an analysis of the scintillation onset over the southern Brazil based on data from two solar maximum periods and simulation of the ionospheric conditions before the scintillation onset. The results shows some patterns which may help to prevent several satellite-based technological applications suffering disruptions due to scintillation issues.

In this study we analyzed ~ 17 years of GPS data from receivers installed in the observatory of Cachoeira Paulista, Brazil. We statistically analyzed the occurrence of GPS signal amplitude fluctuations caused by irregularities in the Earth's upper atmosphere. These signal fluctuations are known to provoke positional errors for GPS users. The results revealed that the secular variations in the Earth’s magnetic field are affecting the climatology of such GPS signal fluctuations.

We present results of Capon's method for the estimation of in-beam images of equatorial spread F (ESF) irregularities observed by the São Luís radar interferometer. Results of numerical simulations show that, despite the short baselines of the system, the method is capable of distinguishing localized features with kilometric scale sizes (zonal direction). Results from the application of Capon’s method to actual measurements show that it is able to resolve features expected to occur in ESF.

Short summary
The total electron content (TEC) is being extensively used to monitor the ionospheric behavior under geomagnetically quiet and disturbed conditions. The TEC presents significant changes during geomagnetic disturbed periods, causing degradation of signals in navigation systems and satellite communication. The geomagnetically disturbed periods occur due to enhanced solar activity and we show that the TEC presents intensifications not only during geomagnetic storms but also during HILDCAA events.
