Short summary
Short summary
A unique multi-step storm of March 21–26, 2024, was studied in detail. Assessments of the energetics of geospace, magnetospheric and magnetic storms were carried out. The strongest storm of March 24–25, 2024, was compared to the storms of April 23–24, 2023, May 10–11, 2024, and to the Carrington event. Differences in magnetic disturbances in the eastern and western hemispheres have been found.

From May 10 to 12, 2024, a strong geomagnetic storm impacted Earth’s magnetic field and ionosphere over China. Using ground-based and satellite data, this study identified 2.5 days of magnetic disturbances and sharp electron density reductions alongside an uplift of the main ionospheric layer. Negative storm effects from electric fields, plasma motion, and composition changes inform space weather forecasting and system protection.

This study, for the first time, convincingly attests to the two-step geospace storm being the best possible solar–terrestrial event of opportunity for realizing a technique for estimating the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bz component threshold for the formation of the substorm current wedge. The data from INTERMAGNET magnetometer network on the two-step geospace 23–24 April 2023 storm yield the IMF Bz threshold for the formation of the substorm current wedge of –(22–30) nT.

Short summary
The Tonga volcano explosion launched a rich assortment of disturbances in the solid Earth, ocean, entire atmosphere, and the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Statistical and spectral analysis of the measurements made at 19 INTERMAGNET recording stations closest to the volcano shows that the quasi-periodic disturbances were transported by fast and slow magnetohydrodynamic waves, blast wave, atmospheric gravity wave, and Lamb wave; the parameters of geomagnetic bay disturbances have also estimated.

Short summary
The receiver at the Harbin Engineering University and eight surrounding HF broadcast stations ~1000 km observed the response in the ionospheric electron density to the activity of Typhoon Kong-rey (30 September–6 October 2018). On 1–2 and 5–6 October 2018, the 20 min to 60 min period quasi-sinusoidal variations in the electron density with an amplitude of 0.4 % to 6 % resulted in 0.1 Hz to 0.5 Hz amplitude Doppler shift variations, a factor of 2–3 increase as compared to a quiet time reference.

Short summary
The solar eclipse of 5–6 January 2019 perturbed the ionospheric electron density, N, observed with the receiver at the Harbin Engineering University and 14 HF broadcasting stations ~1 000 km around. It was accompanied by ±1.5 Hz Doppler-spectrum broadening, ±0.5 Hz Doppler shift, fD, variations, 15 min period variations in fD caused by 1.6–2.4 % perturbations in N, and period changes of 4–5 min in fD caused by 0.2–0.3 % disturbances in N. The decrease in N attained ~15 % (vs. modeled 16 %).

Short summary
The 30 August–2 September 2019 geospace storm and its influence on the characteristics of high frequency radio waves over the People's Republic of China have been analyzed. The geospace storm was weak, the magnetic storm was moderate, and the ionospheric storm was moderate to strongly negative, which manifested itself by the reduction in the ionospheric F-region electron density. Appreciable disturbances were also observed to occur in the ionospheric E-region and possibly in the Es layer.
