A study was carried out of the assumption that low ionization values at the recovery phase of a magnetic storm in the regions of the ionosphere adjacent in longitude may be caused by the propagation of an atmospheric wave of neutral gas with a low content of the [O]/[N2] ratio in the western direction. For the analysis, GUVI TIMED satellite measurements of the atmospheric components were used at heights of the thermosphere (ionosphere) above ~100 km. Due to the peculiarities of the TIMED satellite orbit, it is possible to study only slow day-to-day variations in the [O]/[N2] parameter associated with changes in the chemical composition at ionospheric heights. A spectral analysis of longitudinal variations of the geomagnetic field was also performed based on the data of the mid-latitude chain of INTERMAGNET magnetometers in the Northern Hemisphere during magnetic storms in March 2015. An increase in the amplitude of the low-frequency component of the spectrum of variations in the H-component of the geomagnetic field was noted for several hours before the events of a decrease in [O]/[N2] ratio in a column of thermospheric gas above ~100 km. A possible relationship between the spectra of variations in the geomagnetic field and longitudinal inhomogeneities of ionospheric disturbances during a geomagnetic storm has been discussed.
Keywords: chains of ionosondes and magnetometers, ionospheric disturbances, geomagnetic storm, variations in the gas composition of the thermosphere
