The ionospheric irregularities embedded in the plasma bubbles may lead to amplitude scintillation of Global Navigation Satellite Systems signals. Solar events disturb the regular behavior of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system, leading to an intensification or a suppression of such ionospheric irregularities producing scintillations. During the same storm, inhibition and intensification of the ionospheric scintillations can both occur, depending on the local time of the storm arrival and on the storm features. Electric fields penetrating from the auroral latitudes and disturbing the ionospheric electrodynamics are commonly highlighted as the principal responsible for the inhibited/enhanced scintillations. Beside this mechanism, the disturbance dynamo is the concurrent key-physical phenomenon, being due to variations of the thermospheric winds induced by heating convecting from high towards equatorial latitudes and disturbing the electrodynamics of the Equatorial Electrojet [1]. In the present work, we analyze the scintillation over San Miguel de Tucumán (Argentina), located under the southern crest of the Equatorial Ionospheric Anomaly, focusing on the multi-scale variability and on the causal relationship between forcing factors from the geospace and the ionospheric response.","PeriodicalId":344386,"journal":{"name":"2019 URSI Asia-Pacific Radio Science Conference (AP-RASC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128853684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When calculating the lightning induced voltages on the overhead lines with the conventional numerical method, to pursue a sufficiently accurate results, the lightning electric field at a large number of observation points along the lines should be calculated. However, since the numerical integration are commonly involved when calculating the lightning electric field, the significant CPU cost is normally required for the whole computational procedure. In order to enhance the computational efficiency, two approaches which based on the electric field representation technique were proposed. In these two methods, the lightning electric fields at several observation points along the line are calculated by using the conventional numerical method first, then the electric field along the entire line can be represented with the continuous functions by using two different fitting methods, which are matrix pencil method (MPM) and the least squares-nonlinear least squares (LS-NLS) method. As a result, the necessary number of observation points where the lightning electric field should be calculated by using the conventional numerical methods is significantly decreased. The proposed methods were validated and compared by some numerical examples.","PeriodicalId":344386,"journal":{"name":"2019 URSI Asia-Pacific Radio Science Conference (AP-RASC)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127247505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
