A study of variations in ionospheric and atmospheric parameters in the Northern Hemisphere during a series of magnetic storms in March 2012 was performed based on the analysis of data from the Eurasian mid-latitude ionosonde chain and GUVI TIMED satellite measurements of atmospheric components at altitudes of the thermosphere (ionosphere) above ~100 km. The longitudinal inhomogeneity of the ionospheric ionization over the mid-latitude region of Eurasia at the heights of the maximum F2-layer of the ionosphere is shown. The spatio-temporal variations in the [O]/[N2] density ratio in the thermospheric gas column above ~100 km are analyzed according to GUVI TIMED satellite measurements for the Northern Hemisphere in whole and additionally for the middle latitudes of the Eastern Hemisphere. The complex physics of the long magnetically disturbed period in March 2012 with switching between the positive and negative phases of the ionospheric storm in the same period of the magnetic storm for different spatial regions is emphasized. Possible mechanisms for changing the effects of an ionospheric storm under the conditions of a series of magnetic storms in March 2012 are discussed.
Keywords: chain of ionosondes, ionospheric disturbances, geomagnetic storm, variations in the gas composition of the thermosphere
