Abstract: Calculation of dynamic and thermal processes parameters during the severe magnetic storm of August 5–6, 2011 (Kp max=8−) are presented. The magnetic storm was accompanied by negative ionospheric disturbance over Kharkiv which caused a number of changes in ionosphere. Plasma heating was observed during electron concentration depression in the F-layer which was accompanied by changes in neutral atmosphere composition and ionospheric dynamics.
