Abstract: 
The results of our comparison analysis of the ionosphere-thermo-sphere effects of two strong geospace storms that differ in the intensity and passing character are presented. The typical peculiarities of these storms that are used in part 2 of this work for their classification are revealed. The observations of ionosphere disturbances were carried out with the use of the Kharkiv incoherent scatter radar.
Keywords: classification, ionosphere disturbances, radar
