Scientists detect ionospheric irregularities during major space weather events that influence communication & navigation systems. The scientists also found that enhanced winds during geomagnetic storms can either add or suppress the existing ion densities to produce either positive or negative stormsthat modify the electrodynamics of the ionosphere, thereby influencing navigation and communication that form a
