abstract = "Solar eclipses are an excellent opportunity for ionospheric
researchers to use as a natural ionospheric laboratory. The
production of ions-electrons in the ionosphere is due to the
photoionization process that depends directly on solar radiation.
During a solar eclipse, the gradual decrease in solar radiation to
totality (in some cases) creates a geographic window (minutes to
hours) of nighttime conditions during daylight hours. Under these
conditions it is possible to evaluate and study the response of
some numerical models. The solar eclipse of October 14, 2023 was a
partial solar eclipse that covered from North America, Central
America and even northern part of South America. Prior to this
event, predictions were made of the impact on the ionosphere
during this eclipse. For this, the SUPIM (Sheffield University
Plasmasphere-Ionosphere Model) was used: a numerical model that
solves the coupled equations of continuity, momentum and energy
dependent on time, along the magnetic field lines, and which has
been updated and adapted by the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas
Espaciais (SUPIM-INPE). Particularly, in the case of predictions
during solar eclipses, some adjustments have been made to the
solar radiation according to the geometry of each solar eclipse.
The objective of this work is to evaluate that prediction using
the measurements available from some ionospheric stations that
were covered during the eclipse. Modeling these phenomena helps us
better understand the ionospheric impact and its consequences on
communication and navigation systems.",
