<p>On 15 January 2022 those monitoring propagation from standard time stations such as WWV noticed some strange ionospheric phenomena as evidence in the attached plots of 10 MHz WWV signals measured at different locations in the US. See the attached. Each
long page shows the results measured at four locations using grape1 receivers. The first page is for Saturday January 14 and the second page for Sunday January 15. These two pages show the data for four monitoring stations - one was relatively close to WWV.
The red line equals the relative signal strength (right scale) and the black line the frequency deviation (from 10 MHz). This frequency deviation is caused by Doppler shift due to the up-and-down motion of the ionosphere (more specifically, the mean reflection
point in the ionosphere). The green lines are inserted every 5 hours to make comparison easier. Until about 2200 hours on January 14, the plots are pretty much as we normally see. But at about 2200 hours on the 14th, we start seeing some wild perturbations,
which continue into the 15th. What caused them? Well, right now we aren't sure. One thought is that some may have been caused by electromagnetic events due to the Tonga volcano - such events are known to have occurred, but their effect is uncertain right
now. The red vertical line on the second page indicates the time of the volcano's eruption.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We seek more information regarding the state of the ionosphere during this time. If you have grape1 data from these dates, please send the .png and .csv files for these dates produced by the grape1 software, to
<a href="jofarmer@mindspring.com">jofarmer@mindspring.com</a>. (So long as you put "grape1 data" in the subject line, don't worry if you get a notification that you got caught in my spam filter - I'll see your email and clear it to my inbox.) All data is
appreciated, even if it is not of 10 MHz WWV.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
