abstract = "Sporadic E layer behavior over Cachoeira Paulista (11 degree 57'S,
22 degree 32'E geomagnetic coordinates), located near the center
of the Brazilian Geomagnetic Anomaly., is investigated during
magnetically disturbed periods. Significant enhancements in the Es
layer parameters, ftEs and fbEs take place for short periods (2-3
hours)following a magnetic disturbance of moderate intensity. The
enhancements, however, are delayed by 1-3 days with respect to the
initiation of a disturbance. The electron density enhancement in
the Es layer inferred from fbEs during such events are at times an
order of magnitude larger than undisturbed values. Also, during
some night events the ambient E region electron densities appear
comparable to the regular daytime maximum values. The Es traces in
the ionograms during these events exhibit range spread in the
echoes resembling the a-type Es, know to occur over auroral
latitudes under disturbed conditions. These results are
interpreted as evidence of enhanced charged particle precipitation
in the E region over the geomagnetic anomaly following magnetic
disturbances. The results also provide evidence that the E region
response over our station is delayed with respect to magnetic
activity.",
