Impact of Solar Cycles on the Electron Density in the Ionosphere—An 18‐Year Combined Observation From FORMOSAT‐3/COSMIC and FORMOSAT‐7/COSMIC‐2

The Earth's ionosphere is sensitive to variations in solar irradiance associated with the 11‐year and the 27‐day solar cycles (SCs). Previous studies have suggested that the peak altitude of the 27‐day SC response in ionospheric electron density is significantly higher than that of the 11‐year SC response, but the un...
