  17. Concluding Remarks ► The results presented suggest that the main driver of this ionospheric response is neutral wind and composition change bulge supporting the storm development model suggested by Prölss, [1993]. ► In our study we were able to reconstruct the local time dependence of the storm effects ► Other storms effects do not manifest themselves systematically (GW, + or - f0F2 effect, shock effects, … ). ► IRI model does not reproduce the observed uplifting of the ionosphere during the storm time. ► Digisonde worldwide network offers an excellent tool for studying spatial effects of the magnetic storms. It provides an advantage of looking into the altitude distribution of the ionospheric reaction. I. U.
