abstract = "Traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) are wave-like
disturbances in ionospheric plasma density. They are often
observed during both quiet (medium-scale TID) and geomagnetically
disturbed (large-scale TID) conditions. Their amplitudes can reach
double-digit percentages of the background plasma density, and
their existence presents a challenge for accurate ionosphere
specification. In this study, we examine TID properties using
observations obtained during two geomagnetically disturbed periods
using multiple ground and space-borne instruments, such as
magnetometers, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
receivers, and the SWARM satellite. Reference quiet time
observations are also provided for both storms. We use a
thermosphere-ionosphere-electrodynamics general circulation model
(TIEGCM) results to properly interpret TID features and their
drivers. This combination of observations and modeling allows the
investigation of variations of TID generation mechanisms and
subsequent wave propagation, particularly as a function of
different plasma background densities during various geophysical
conditions. The trans-equatorial coupling of TIDs in the northern
and southern hemispheres is also investigated with respect to
attenuation and propagation characteristics. We show that TID
properties during trans-equatorial events may be substantially
affected by storm time background neutral wind perturbation.",
