Most probably appears at Where Local time Season Solar activity Magnic activity within magnic ± morning-noon (9-2LT) Summer hemisphere Low solar activity Strong magnic storms Limitation: ionosonde station Global distribution?

18 Conclusion It is the first time the stratification structure of the F2 region is investigated by the COSMIC EDPs. The location of the F3 layer occurrence on a global scale are presented. These results indicate that the RO soundings are of sufficient high accuracy to differentiate the variation of very local and subtle structure. High occurrence of the suns F3 layer should be distinguished from the traditional morning noon F3 layer feature. The high occurrence of suns F3 layers, longitude, which appear mainly at Jicamarca, is clearly dependent on the magnic latitude as well as longitude.
