    As a result of the enhanced X-ray and EUV fluxes following large solar flares, the electron density
    of the ionospheric layers increases. Furthermore, it causes higher absorption or even partial or
    total fade-out of the emitted radio waves which can be measured with ionosondes and Digisondes
    by studying the amplitude of the reflected electromagnetic waves [1,2].
    In the present study, the ionospheric response to large solar flares has been investigated using the
    ionosonde data measured at the Průhonice (Czech Republic, 49.98° N, 14.55° E) and San Vito (Italy,
    40.6° N, 17.8° E) stations in September 2017, the most active solar period of Solar Cycle 24. A novel
    method [3] to calculate and investigate the absorption of radio waves propagating in the
    ionosphere is used to determine the absorption during large solar flare events (M and X class).
    Subsequently, the absorption data are compared with the indicators derived from the fmin
    method (fmin, the minimum frequency is considered as a qualitative proxy for the “nondeviative”
    radio wave absorption occurring in the D-layer). Total and partial radio fade-out and increased
    values (with 2–5 MHz) of the fmin parameter were experienced during and after the intense solar
    flares (> M3). Furthermore, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measured by the Digisondes was used
    as well to quantify and characterize the fade-out events and the ionospheric absorption. The
    combination of these three methods may prove to be an efficient approach to monitor the
    ionospheric response to solar flares.
