Geomagnetic storms are severe disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field caused by interactions between the solar wind and the magnetosphere. These storms significantly affect the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere, which in turn affects communications, navigation, and radio signals. Geomagnetic storms affect the accuracy of GPS signals, resulting in position errors of up to several meters, a critical problem in precision applications such as aviation and maritime navigation. Geomagnetic storms cause distortions in data transmitted to and from satellites, affecting the accuracy of scientific measurements and ground-based observations.
