abstract = "This paper investigates the effects of a minor G1 Co-rotating
Interaction Region (CIR)/High-Speed Stream (HSS)-driven
geomagnetic storm that occurred on (1314 October 2018), during
deep solar minimum. We used simultaneous observations from
multiple instruments, namely; ground-based Global Navigation
Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers, a Digisonde, ground
magnetometers, and space-based observations from the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration Global-scale Observations of
Limb and Disk (GOLD) and SWARM missions. This study presents a
detailed picture of the low-latitude ionosphere response over the
Brazilian sector during a minor storm. Our results showed that the
minor CIR/HSS-driven storm caused a positive ionospheric storm of
over \∼20 TECU in magnitude. For the first time, periodic
post-sunset irregularities and Equatorial Plasma Bubbles,
equatorial plasma bubbles, were analyzed using GOLD FUV OI 135.6
nm emission, Total Electron Content (TEC) maps, Rate of TEC index,
ROTI, and TEC gradients. Fluctuations in the interplanetary
magnetic field Bz and changes in the thermospheric column density
ratio (\∑O/N2) are discussed as the main sources of
ionospheric changes during the storm. This paper highlights the
importance of monitoring and understanding the impact of Sun-Earth
interactions and provides insight into the behavior of the
low-latitude ionosphere during minor geomagnetic storms.",
