About Chukwuma Anoruo

I study fascinating phenomena in the physics of the upper atmosphere, with a focus on GNSS-based investigations. My research involves analyzing GNSS data to explore magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (MIT) coupling, phase delay irregularities in trans-ionospheric propagation, and traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs). I examine global total electron content (TEC) variations during ionospheric substorms and storms, as well as the coupling of TIDs with stratospheric warming events through the propagation of atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs). Additionally, I utilize the rate of TEC index (ROTI) complemented with amplitude and phase (S4 & sigma-phi) datasets to assess scintillation effects during ionospheric disturbances mostly quantifying ambient electric field and neutral winds.
My academic background includes a master’s thesis in aerosol science, which later transitioned into ionospheric studies. I have included links to selected publications in both space physics and lower atmosphere research, highlighting results on ionospheric disturbances during geomagnetic storms and aerosol modeling.
