                         altitude of about 60 km to more than 1000 Km, in which the 
                         constituent gases are partially ionized. The ionization is 
                         generated by the interaction of the solar and cosmic ionizing 
                         radiations with the neutral atmosphere constituents. In the 
                         Southern Space Observatory - OES/CRS/CIE/INPE MCT, in S{\~a}o 
                         Martinho da Serra, RS, in south of Brazil, was installed and is 
                         operation a riometer equipment (Radio Ionosphere Opacity Meter) 
                         for Space Geophysics research. This riometer consists of a set of 
                         16 antennas formed by a 4x4 matrix operating at 38.2 MHz. The 
                         riometer detects the variation of the incident cosmic radiation in 
                         the ground, thus determining the electronic density of the lower 
                         ionosphere, that is, layers D and E. The ionospheric absorption is 
                         obtained generally by the subtraction of the intensities of the 
                         cosmic noise due to the absorption of the ionospheric layers and 
                         the level of the background cosmic radiation in the absence of 
                         this absorption. From this procedures, using statistical methods 
                         the quiet day (Quiet Day Curve - QDC) can be determined. The main 
                         objective of this work is to study the behavior of the Ionosphere 
                         in the central region of the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly SAMA, 
                         in south of Brazil, analyzing data observed with riometers.",
