Short summary
We combined the observed diurnal VLF amplitude variation in the D region with standard measurements of the E and F regions to perform a diagnostic investigation of coupled geomagnetic storm effects in order to understand the observed storm-induced variations in VLF narrowband based on state and responses of the ionosphere. The dayside VLF amplitude showed a tendency for attenuation following geomagnetic storms, and the h’E and h’F variations confirmed strong storm response over the signal paths.
