SOLAR GEOPHYSICS

This page contains information and links concerning solar-geophysical phenomena with particular reference to solar-induced ionospheric disturbances. Emphasis is given to the south-eastern region of Australia and to phenomena, such as auroral activity, which might affect HF/VHF communications.
