Analysis of the Relation Between Solar Activity and Parameters of the Sporadic E Layer
Based on the ionosonde data from stations at different latitudes in high- and low-solar-activity years, the effects of solar activity on the parameters of the Es layer and the foE amplitude spectrum are analyzed. The results show that the influence of solar activity on the intensity of the Es layer at different latitude sites is not consistent, and there is no significant agreement conclusion. And the spectral analysis results show that solar activity has little influence on the amplitude spectrum of foEs. But the incidence of Es layer, the height distribution of Es layer during daytime, and the Es layer traces have a negative correlation with solar activity. The research in the paper has certain significance for the study of influencing factors in the formation of the Es layer.
