Sensitive, low-power radio communication and navigation systems can be limited in their operational reliability or accuracy by space weather effects including anomalous reflection, refraction, delay, diffraction, and absorption of radio waves propagating through the ionosphere or directly by interference from solar radio bursts.
During these space weather events the changes in solar output limits the frequency at which radio waves are broadcasted, in particular, those used by HF radios. High frequency or HF radiowaves are propagated through the ionosphere, a section of the atmosphere that uses solar radiation to reflect such waves back to Earth.
Either used for communication between a transmitter and a receiver, for accurate positioning in navigation systems or as a mean to probe the environment as it is the case for remote sensing, electromagnetic waves do also interact in a complex way with the natural environment.
When the solar radio burst occurs, it usually starts by emitting radio waves at GHz frequencies around the time of the flare, but may continue long after the flare but with the emission frequencies gradually declining to MHz frequencies. As with solar flares these radio bursts have their origin in solar active regions.
