On Wednesday, May 22, Abdollah Masoud Darya, a Space Weather and Ionosphere Laboratory researcher presented a talk titled: “Observations of Ionospheric Scintillation Over the Arabian Peninsula”.

The talk introduced the ionospheric scintillation phenomenon, its effects, and the importance of understanding its temporal and spatial features over the Arabian Peninsula region for the period 2020–2023. Ionospheric scintillation significantly attenuates signals passing through the ionosphere, particularly signals in the L-band (1–2 GHz). Ionospheric scintillation is induced by irregular electron density structure in the ionosphere. It has distinct diurnal and seasonal patterns that can be analyzed to further our understanding of the underlying processes and enable us to work on ways to mitigate them. The most severe ionospheric scintillations were observed after sunset during the equinoxes. They were significantly more prominent during 2023 than prior years, indicating a strong influence on solar activity.
