Lightning induced perturbations of the lower ionosphere are investigated with very low frequency (VLF) remote sensing on a unique overlapping propagation path geometry. The signals from two VLF transmitters (at different frequencies) are observed at a single receiver after propagation through a common channel in the Earth‐ionosphere waveguide. This measurement diversity allows for greater certainty in quantification of perturbations to the ionospheric
Energetic particle precipitation (EPP) is a key loss mechanism for radiation belt particles. Quantification of the precipitation loss rate feeds into the electron lifetimes used by radiation belt models and is needed to improve understanding of radiation belt dynamics. EPP deposits most of its energy in the

Abstract D region. Changes in amplitude and phase are modeled with the Long Wave Propagation Capability (LWPC) software package to quantify changes in reference height and steepness of the two parameterD region electron density model. Since the nighttimeD region profile prior to the perturbation is found to strongly affect the resulting quantification, and is highly variable and generally unknown at nighttime, an error minimization method for identifying the most likely ionospheric disturbance independent of the ambient profile is used. Analysis of 12 large lightning perturbations resulting from discharges with peak currents greater than 160 kA shows that the ionospheric reference height can change by 2–8 km. We investigate both early/fast events (direct ionization and heating from lightning) and lightning‐induced electron precipitation (LEP) events, induced by lightning hundreds of kilometer away. LEP events increaseD region electron density while early/fast events can lead to a increase or decrease in electron density. Multi‐point observations along a VLF propagation path are needed to further improve ionospheric perturbation quantification with VLF remote sensing. -

Abstract Lightning‐induced Electron Precipitation (LEP) is a known process of electron loss in the Earth's radiation belts. An LEP event progresses with Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio wave radiation from lightning, trans‐ionospheric propagation, and wave‐particle gyroresonance interaction with energetic radiation belt electrons. Pitch angle scattered electrons then precipitate onto the ionosphere, allowing detection using VLF remote sensing using high power transmitters. The relative importance of LEP events as a radiation belt electron lifetime driver has heretofore been unclear. We build off a massive database of LEP events observed within the continental US (CONUS) by a network of VLF receivers. For each observed LEP event, based on the characteristics of the ionospheric disturbance, we apply a suite of models to estimate the total number of precipitating electrons, which we can then sum up over all LEP events to quantify lightning's contribution within CONUS. We find that LEP events within CONUS appear to be capable of removing a substantial fraction (up to 0.1%–1%) of radiation belt electrons between 33 and 1,000 keV, and may have stronger contributions to radiation belt losses than earlier estimates.

Abstract We present a new four‐parameter model of the
D ‐region (60–90 km) ionospheric electron density, useful in very low frequency (VLF, 3–30 kHz) remote sensing. VLF waves have a long history of use to indirectly inferD ‐region conditions, as they reflect efficiently and thus are sensitive to small changes in the electron density. Most historical efforts use VLF observations along with a forward model of theD ‐region and VLF propagation. The ionospheric assumptions in the forward model are altered until the output matches the observation. The most commonD ‐region model, known as the Wait‐Spies ionosphere, takes the electron density as exponentially increasing with altitude and specifies a height and steepness. This model was designed to capture the VLF propagation variations evident at a single frequency. The realD ‐region is likely more complex. The limited number ofD ‐region rocket passes that have previously been compiled tend to show the existence of a “ledge” somewhere between 70 and 90 km. Broadband VLF signals emitted from lightning allows a more sophisticated parametrization. Using carefully averaged amplitudes and phases of VLF sferics, we formulate a more general four‐parameterD ‐region model that includes a ledge discontinuity. Using lightning‐emitted VLF observations along with a theoretical model, we find that this model better describes the ionosphere during the daytime. During the ambient nighttime and during a solar flare the two‐parameter ionosphere may be sufficient, at least for the purposes of calculating broadband VLF propagation, since the ledge either weakens or moves outside the altitude range of VLF sensitivity. -

Abstract Terrestrial Very‐Low‐Frequency (VLF) energy from both lightning discharges and radio transmitters has a role in affecting the energetic electrons in the Van Allen radiation belts, but quantification of these effects is particularly difficult, largely due to the collisional damping experienced in the highly variable electron density in the D‐ and E‐region ionosphere. The Faraday International Reference Ionosphere (FIRI) model was specifically developed by combining lower‐ionosphere chemistry modeling with in situ rocket measurements, and represents to date the most reliable source of electron density profiles for the lower ionosphere. As a full‐resolution empirical model, FIRI is not well suited to D‐ and E‐region ionosphere inversion, and its applicability in transionospheric VLF simulation and in remote sensing of the lower ionosphere is limited. Motivated by how subionospheric VLF remote sensing has been aided by the Wait and Spies (WS) profile (Wait & Spies, 1964), in this study, we parameterize the FIRI profiles and extend the WS profile to the E‐region ionosphere by introducing two new parameters: the knee altitude
h kand the sharpness parameter for the E‐region ionosphereβ E. Using this modified WS profile, we calculate the expected signals at different receiver locations from the NAA, NPM, and NWC transmitters under the full range of possible ionospheric conditions. We also describe and validate a method about how these results can be readily used to translate VLF measurements into estimates of the lower ionosphere electron density. Moreover, we use this method to evaluate the sensitivity of different ground receiver locations in lower‐ionosphere remote sensing. -

Abstract The lowest region of the ionosphere, the
D region, plays an important role in magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling but is challenging to directly observe. The group velocity of the extremely low frequency (ELF; 3–300 Hz) portion of lightning induced electromagnetic radiation can be used to diagnose theD region electron density profile. Day‐night conditions can be assessed using ELF receivers and lightning detection networks. Analytical formulations and the Long Wave Propagation Capability software package show that ELF group velocity has particular sensitivity to the sharpness of the exponential electron density profile. Applying the technique to sudden ionospheric disturbances shows that the group velocity increases in response to incidence of solar X‐ray flux . A small number of ELF receivers can provide a large‐scale diagnostic of theD region. ELF remote sensing using lightning is complementary to very low frequency remote sensing and can be used to assess the Earth‐ionosphere propagation channel for very low frequency transmitters.
