Ionospheric Response to the M‐ and X‐Class Solar Flares of 28 October 2021 Over the African Sector by John Bosco Habarulema, Mpho Tshisaphungo, Zama Thobeka Katamzi‐Joseph, Tshimangadzo Merline Matamba, Rendani Nndanganeni

“…While it is known that strong solar flares cause total absorption of frequencies in the high frequency (HF) range, the F2 layer was consistently present on 28 October 2021 as shown by the critical frequency of the F2 layer (foF2). However, using South African ionosonde data over Hermanus (34.4°S, 19.2°E) and Grahamstown (33.3°S, 26.5°E), we show that the lower frequencies in the E and F1 layers were the most affected by the M‐class solar flares. …”
