In addition to producing scintillation, magnetic storms can produce strong ionospheric gradients that degrade the accuracy of SBAS systems.

Those that managed to get far enough within the atmosphere to the north and south set up a small magnetic storm.

All nine eruptions of positively charged particles caused magnetic storms on Earth, reported Nancy Crooker, a space physicist from Boston University.

Links were found to the 11 year sunspot cycle and the Aurora Borealis, the magnetic storms that occur in high latitudes.

Such observatories can measure and forecast magnetic conditions such as magnetic storms that sometimes affect communications, electric power, and other human activities.

While at B . U . he researched the effects of magnetic storms on the equatorial and high-latitude ionosphere using GPS satellites.

We now know that solar mass ejections caused by solar flares can interact with the Earth's magnetic field to produce magnetic storms.
19.
The station has dropped about seven kilometers ( 4.3 miles ) over the past week due to strong magnetic storms, Lyndin said.
20.
A previous, unusually powerful magnetic storm struck Earth early Wednesday, but it apparently didn't trigger big power blackouts or other major problems.
