Abstract
We present the results of studying the influence of geomagnetic storms on the characteristics of the hydroxyl (6-2) emission, which arises at the mesopause heights, and the NmF2 peak electron density. The events of strong geomagnetic storms for which the values of the Dst index were below -100 nT were selected for the analysis. The analysis is based on the observational data of the complex of instruments of the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics SB RAS. It was found, that strong geomagnetic disturbances cause an increase in the OH emission intensity by 50-100 percent with a delay of 2- 5 days after the onset of the storm and oscillating disturbances of the emission intensity and OH rotational temperature decaying with time. In the F2-layer of the ionosphere, during the analyzed periods of geomagnetic storms, significant disturbances of NmF2 were observed.
