Abstract
Anomalous propagational characteristics, daytime signal levels greater than night-time, were observed. The amplitude records of a 40-kHz sig nal propagated over a distance of 5100 km from Sanwa, Japan to Calcutt a along a low-latitude path show higher signal strength at midday comp ared to the midnight level on days preceded by principal geomagnetic s torms, earthquakes and major meteor showers. This is explained by the increased ionization in the D-region following geophysical events. The storm after-effects only have a duration of a single day in this low- latitude path.
