In this study, the cosmic ray stuff and its associations with the solar flare index, coronal index, and geomagnetic indices, such as Kp, auroral electrojets, Ap, disturbance storm time (Dst), polar cap, Lyman-alpha, Hp60, and Ap60 indices, were studied using wavelet-based approaches over KIEL and MOSC stations during 2003 and 2004. The cosmic ray data used in this study were obtained from ground-based neutron monitor stations. Different sources are also used to get data on the different indices used in this study. The yearly variation in cosmic ray intensity revealed that the intensity of cosmic rays over KIEL and MOSC stations was greater in 2004 and lower in 2003. This variation might be due to the ring current's asymmetry, which causes an enormous asymmetry in the storm-time cosmic-ray increase. The wavelet coherence transform shows a positive and negative correlation as well as cosmic ray lags with solar flares and coronal indices throughout different months of the 2003 and 2004 periods over both suggested stations. The results of cross correlation indicate that cosmic ray intensity is positively correlated with all geomagnetic indices. However, cosmic ray intensity was negatively associated with the Dst index during 2003 and 2004 over both suggested stations. Moreover, multi-resolution analysis and power spectral density (PSD) analysis are consistent with wavelet analysis. Using the PSD result, we have seen high-power wavelet regions during geomagnetically quiet months and low-power wavelets during disturbed months at a common frequency over both stations during 2003 and 2004.

We study the variation in plasma beta, Alfven Mach number, and magnetosonic Mach number during different geomagnetic storms of solar cycles 23, 24, and 25. In addition, we employ measurements of the solar winds flow pressure, proton density, interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) along the z-direction (Bz), temperature, velocity, and geomagnetic index SYM-H. Here, the wavelet coherence (WTC) approach of plasma beta, the Alfven Mach number, and the magnetosonic Mach number have been used with the symmetrical H component (SYM-H) index, which are critical indicators of the plasma behavior and magnetic field interactions. A solar CME or, much less severely, a corotating interaction region (CIR), which is formed at the leading edge of a high-speed stream, is the source of the magnetic storm. The key objective of this study is to reveal the possible dependencies of the geomagnetic indices on whether a storm is driven by a CME or CIR. For CIR-associated storms, large amplitude waves occur preferentially with the rising Alfven Mach number and plasma beta. At the same time, the magnetosonic Mach number lacks variability during the storms caused by shock on the arrival of Earths environment. This is different for CME-driven storms, where the variations of the magnetosonic Mach number do not show much fluctuation compared to the Alfven Mach number and plasma beta. WTC between SYM-H and our derived parameters indicates periodicities between 64 and 512minutes and noticeable regions of significantly enhanced power on November 0709, 2004, and June 2123, 2015. However, the magnetosonic Mach number showed a noticeable coherence with SYM-H between 64 and 250minutes on September 0608, 2017. Although, during March 1921, 2021, both the Alfven Mach number and magnetosonic Mach number showed a noticeable coherence with SYM-H, plasma beta showed none. These parameters can be used in the prediction of geomagnetic storms of the category above G3.

This study investigated the relationship between the cosmic ray intensity (CRI) and the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field (dH) during two intense geomagnetic storms that occurred on September 8, 2017, and August 26, 2018, and a moderate storm on February 18, 2020 over three stations: IRKT, YKTK, and HRMS. The findings of this study indicate that the CRI and dH do not exhibit a simple association over each station. A significant decrease in CRI and dH was seen during the intense geomagnetic storm on September 8, 2017, over all stations as compared to the other two storm events. The decrease was more pronounced over the YKTK station, which has low cutoff rigidity (1.65 GV), than the HRMS (4.58 GV) and IRKT (3.64 GV) stations with high cutoff rigidity. Furthermore, the cross-wavelet analysis reveals that the relationship between CRI and dH varies with the strength of the storm, the location, and the cutoff rigidity of the station.

During sand and dust storm (SDS) events, atmospheric suspension and transport of sand and dust brings a reasonable amount of electrification in the atmosphere which plays a very important role in the atmosphere-ionosphere coupling. The Godzilla SDS began on 5th June 2020 in Algeria following a decrease in pressure and spread to other areas across the Sahara between 6th and 28th June 2020. Using SDS data from Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite mission and Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) data from four GNSS receiver stations: IFR1 (Ifrane Seismic), MELI (Melilla), TETN (Tetouan) and OUCA (Ouca) over Morocco, we investigate the possible ionospheric TEC variability over the four GNSS receiver stations during the Godzilla SDS event which was tracked using the Sentinel-5P Satellite mission. Solar wind parameters: Horizontal component of Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF-Bz), interplanetary Electric Field (IEF-Ey) and solar wind speed (V) and geomagnetic indices: Disturbance Storm Time (Dst) and Planetary K (Kp) indices were examined and showed very minimal geomagnetic influence during the period. We observed major ionospheric disturbances over the four Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver stations on 16th, 17th, 18th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd 25th and 26th June 2020: the period with the Sentinel-5P Aerosol Index (SAI) of more than 4 as recorded by the Sentinel-5P Satellite engine. The daily VTEC values over the four GNSS receiver stations recorded continuous electron density perturbations during these days. Apart from the ionospheric TEC perturbations, significant enhancements and decreases in daily maximum VTEC values over the four GNSS receiver stations were also noted. These were attributed to the changes in the atmospheric electric fields generated by the SDS event. The VTEC plots for each day exhibited similar trends, hence exhibited the same ionospheric dynamics. VTEC depletions of depths 3 to 6 TECU over all the four GNSS receiver stations were noted on 12th, 14th, 17th, 20th and 25th June 2020. Nighttime VTEC enhancements were also noted and majorly occurred between 20:00 and 21:00 UT on 9th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 20th and 21st June 2020. This was attributed to the development of the electron avalanche processes including dust and electron absorption or losses and the active conversion to electron dissociative attachment leading to electron excitation. In conclusion, the Godzilla SDS of June 2020 led to the electron density perturbations over Morocco.
