Abstract

Previous investigations of the authors based on the decay rates of many satellites have demonstrated the existence of a post-storm effect in the neutral atmosphere after geomagnetic storms. Its maximum appears 4–6 days after the storm onset. It generally lasts 8–10 days, but if there is also an ionospheric post-storm effect, then it is about twice as long at mid-latitudes and in the evening hours. The observed characteristics of the post-storm effect seem to indicate that it is related to the precipitation of ring current particles due to charge exchange and wave-particle interactions
