Solar-geomagnetic activity effect on NmE over Ouagadougou, an equatorial anomaly station in the African sector

Key Points

• Geomagnetic activity significantly affects NmE levels in Ouagadougou, impacting communication.
• During heightened solar activity, NmE variations reached up to 25% in specific conditions.
• Observational analysis across Ouagadougou revealed strong correlations between solar activity and NmE changes.
• Findings highlight the importance of geomagnetic influences on ionospheric behavior during solar events.
