The world-wide patterns of the
F2-region disturbance and their development process with the geomagnetic storm-time were examined with the comprehensive world-wide data of
F2-layer.
The average disturbance in
f0F2 during the main phase of the associated magnetic storm, so-called
D (
f0F2), was derived with respect to geomagnetic latitude and local-time, and it was separated into the
Dst (
f0F2) and
Ds (
f0F2) component. It will be shown in this analysis these two components play an important role in the ionospheric storms, and not only their range, but also their phase are controlled by the magnetic activity.
The average development course of the ionospheric storm and the mode of the
Ds (
f0F2), changing regularly with storm-time, were studied. The phase of the
Ds (
f0F2) during the active stage of magnetic storm is almost uniquely dependent upon local-time, but after the activation ceases, the pattern of the disturbance moves together with the rotating earth.
Detailed analysis was made on the progressive aspects of the individual disturbances in the northern hemisphere accompanied with some typical severe magnetic storms.
