Skywave propagation on the sunlit side of the Earth can be entirely disrupted during sudden ionospheric disturbances.
2.
A major weather component is the solar wind, a stream of solar storms on Earth, disrupting communications, as well as geomagnetic storms in Earth's magnetosphere and sudden ionospheric disturbances in the ionosphere.
3.
In addition, there are a number of horizontal asymmetries day-night difference in the height of the ionosphere, latitudinal changes in the Earth's magnetic field, sudden ionospheric disturbances, polar cap absorption, variation in the Earth radius of ?11 km from equator to geographic poles, etc . that produce other effects in the Schumann resonance power spectra.
