This paper analyzes the results of about 100 radio occultation sessions of sounding of the high-latitude (>65 °N) lower ionosphere of the Earth’s Northern Hemisphere, which were carried out on June 22–23, 2015, on the carrier GPS frequency of 1545.42 MHz (L1 range) in the FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC experiment. Coronal plasma ejections that reached Earth during this period provoked a magnetic storm of class G4 (a strong geomagnetic storm with a planetary Kp index is 8), which, in turn, caused significant ionospheric fluctuations of radio waves on “navigation (GPS) satellites–low-orbit (FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC) satellites” sounding paths.
