Survey of electron density changes in the daytime ionosphere over the Arecibo observatory due to lightning and solar flares

Abstract Optical observations of transient luminous events and remote-sensing of the lower ionosphere with low-frequency radio waves have demonstrated that thunderstorms and lightning can have substantial impacts in the nighttime ionospheric D region. However, it remains a challenge to quantify such...
