abstract = "We have analyzed the behavior of blanketing frequency of the Es
layer (fb Es) occurring at an equatorial station covering the days
before, during and subsequent to 24 intense and very intense
magnetic storms (Dst d - 100 nT) that occurred during the solar
cycle 23. The fb Es was measured by digital ionosonde over
S{\~a}o Lu{\'{\i}}s, Brazil (2.33° S, 44.2° W, dip: -4.5°). Our
analysis shows that there are significant changes in the fb Es,
mainly during the recovery phase of magnetic storms, characterized
by occurrence of peaks that exceed the ambient background values.
Also, these peaks are associated to other types of sporadic E
layer than the Esq (a non-blanketing layer detected due the plasma
irregularities in the equatorial electrojet), which in turn means
competing mechanisms. The results are discussed in terms of the
statistics of the abnormal enhancement taking into account the
phase of the magnetic storm.",
