Morphological features of the spectral resonance structures at different latitudes
This study investigates the morphological features of Spectral Resonance Structures (SRS) observed at various latitudes, including high (Sodankyla, Barentsburg), mid (Nizhny Novgorod), and low latitudes (Crete). Detailed examples highlight the variability of SRS characteristics induced by local time, season, and solar activity across different observational scenarios. It includes analyses of magnetic variation spectra during solar minimum periods and the dynamics of ionospheric parameters. The findings contribute to understanding the ionospheric Alfvén resonator's role in shaping these resonance structures and their frequency dependencies.

F1 F2 The existence of the IAR causes resonance features of the ionosphere reflection coefficient
Dependence of the frequency interval of IAR (F) on ionospheric parameters The theory of IAR predicts dependence of the SRS characteristics on parameters of upper ionosphere
