Diagnostics of the Solar X-Flare Impact on Lower Ionosphere through the VLF-NAA Signal Recordings

An analysis of four solar flare X-ray irradiance effects on VLF signal amplitude and phase delay variations on the NAA/24.0 kHz signal trace during the period from 2005 September to 2006 December was carried out. Solar flare data were taken from the GOES12 satellite one-minute listings. For the VLF...
