This physics image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “FlareNPS.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary

Description
English: Ray diagram showing some effects of solar flares and CMEs (Coronal mass ejection, red raytraces) compared to a normal, quiet situation (blue raytrace). Electron densities are increased in all layers, as indicated by the darker colors compared to the other raytrace diagrams. This can cause increased D layer absorption (as indicated by duller red color for first red ray), unusual E layer refraction (next red ray) or total loss of signal due to enhanced D layer absorption (last red ray).
