What Does SID Stand For?
SID stands for Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance
Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance (SID) refers to rapid and temporary fluctuations in the ionosphere, primarily caused by solar activity such as solar flares or coronal mass ejections. These disturbances can impact radio wave propagation, affecting communications and navigation systems that rely on ionospheric conditions. Understanding SIDs is crucial for mitigating their effects on technology and for advancements in space weather forecasting.
