First results of Arar-magnetometer station in Saudi Arabia

This paper presents the first results of a new Arar-magnetometer station located (Geographic Coordinates: 30°50.2′N, 41°11.3′E) at Northern Border University in Saudi Arabia. The geomagnetic response detected by the station during a moderate magnetic storm of April 20, 2018 is examined as an initial study. The X-component of the magnetic field measured by the station showed a prompt increase coincident with the Sudden Storm Commencement (SSC) measured by the ACE satellite. The three components of the measured magnetic field were compared to the measured data from the nearest four INTERMAGNET stations as a test. The high rate of magnetic field digital data system of Arar-Magnetometer station with sampling rate of 0.1 s allowed us to study the geomagnetic pulsation at the northern region of the Arabian Peninsula for the first time, which will promote the research of space weather monitoring in that area.     

NeQuick2 validation using multi-satellite and ground data

Global Navigation Satellite System’s (GNSS) positioning calculation is prone to ionospheric errors. Single frequency GNSS users receive ionospheric corrections through broadcast ionospheric models. Therefore, the accuracy of ionospheric models must be validated based on various geographic and geomagnetic conditions. In this work, an attempt is made to validate NeQuick2 electron density (Ne) using multiple sources of space-based and ground-based data at the Arabian Peninsula and for low solar activity conditions. These sources include space-based data from Swarm, DMSP and COSMIC-2 satellite constellations and ground-based data from GNSS receiver and the ionosonde. The period of this study is 1 year from October 2019 to September 2020. Analysis shows that the agreement between NeQuick2 and experimental Ne close to the peak density height depends on seasons and time of the day with the largest errors found in Autumn and during the daytime. NeQuick2 generally overestimates Ne during the daytime. During the early morning and evening hours, Ne estimates seem to be fairly accurate with slight underestimation in Winter and Spring. Estimation of slab thickness by NeQuick2 is found to be close to the values calculated using collocated ionosonde and GNSS receiver.
