Observations performed using ground- and space-based instruments were used to reveal the driver of the positive ionospheric storm over the South American sector during the 4 November 2021 geomagnetic storm. The positive storm appeared from 10:30 UT to 18:00 UT and covered the region from 40\u00b0S to 20\u00b0N. The maximum magnitudes of TEC (Total Electron Content) enhancement and relative TEC enhancement were about 20 TECU and 100%, respectively. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) also observed a significant electron density increase over South America and the eastern Pacific Ocean. In the meantime, about 50% \u2211O\/N2 enhancement was observed by the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) satellite at low latitudes. Ionosonde observations (AS00Q and CAJ2M) registered an ~80 km uplift in F2 peak height (HmF2) and a prominent F2 peak electron density (NmF2) increase ~3 h after the uplift. A prominent enhancement in the cross-polar cap potential (CPCP) in the southern hemisphere was also observed by Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) one hour earlier than the HmF2 uplift. Measurements of the Ionospheric Connection Explorer satellite (ICON) showed that the outward E\u00d7B drift was enhanced significantly and that the horizontal ion drift was poleward. According to the ICON ion drift observations, the HmF2 uplift was caused by an electric field rather than equatorward neutral wind. We propose that the enhanced eastward electric field dominated the positive ionospheric storm and that the thermospheric composition variation may have also contributed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15010111","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,27]],"date-time":"2022-12-27T02:50:01Z","timestamp":1672109401000},"page":"111","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Driver of the Positive Ionospheric Storm over the South American Sector during 4 November 2021 Geomagnetic Storm"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Changzhi","family":"Zhai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing 211100, China"},{"name":"Hunan Provincial Key Laboratory of Geo-Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Hunan University of Science and Technology, Xiangtan 411201, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shenquan","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North Information Control Research Academy Group Co., Ltd., Nanjing 211153, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenjie","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geodesy and Geomatics, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyun","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing 211100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dunyong","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hunan Provincial Key Laboratory of Geo-Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Hunan University of Science and Technology, Xiangtan 411201, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"508","DOI":"10.1002\/2014SW001072","article-title":"Geomagnetic storms, super-storms, and their impacts on GPS-based navigation systems","volume":"12","author":"Astafyeva","year":"2014","journal-title":"Space Weather"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1029\/2008JA013076","article-title":"Large magnetic storm-induced nighttime ionospheric flows at midlatitudes and their impacts on GPS-based navigation systems","volume":"113","author":"Basu","year":"2008","journal-title":"J.
