Statistical analysis of high frequency radio parameters on St. Patrick's day in Thailand

The ionospheric irregularities on St. Patrick's day (17 March 2015) at Chiang Mai and Chumphon stations are affected by the strongest of the 24
^th
solar storm cycle. The ionogram data in this research is obtained from the frequency modulated/carrier waves (FM/CW) ionosonde at Chiang Mai station and near the magnetic equator, namely, Chumphon station. The parameters in this research include the critical frequency of F2 layer, the virtual height of F layer, and the maximum height of F2 layer. Overall, we found that the ionosphere layer at Chiang Mai and Chumphon stations are disturbed by the geomagnetic storm. The result indicate that the radio frequency transmission is affected by geomagnetic storm at both stations and the observation differ from the median value is specified in part of the percentage of coefficient deviation.
