abstract = "In August 2000, a new ionospheric sounding station was established
at Sao Jose dos Campos (23.2º S, 45.9ºW; dip latitude 17.6º S),
Brazil, by the University of Vale do Paraiba (UNIVAP). Another
ionospheric sounding station was established at Palmas (10.2º S,
48.2ºW; dip latitude 5.5º S), Brazil, in April 2002, by UNIVAP in
collaboration with the Lutheran University Center of Palmas
(CEULP), Lutheran University of Brazil (ULBRA). Both the stations
are equipped with digital ionosonde of the type known as Canadian
Advanced Digital Ionosonde (CADI). In order to study the effects
of geomagnetic storms on equatorial spread-F, we present and
discuss three case studies, two from the ionospheric sounding
observations at Sao Jose dos Campos (September and November 2000)
and one from the simultaneous ionospheric sounding observations at
Sao Jose dos Campos and Palmas (July 2003). Salient features from
these ionospheric observations are presented and discussed in this
paper. It has been observed that sometimes (e.g. 45 November 2000)
the geomagnetic storm acts as an inhibitor (high strong spread-F
season), whereas at other times (e.g. 1112 July 2003) they act as
an initiator (low strong spread- F season), possibly due to
corresponding changes in the quiet and disturbed drift patterns
during different seasons.",
