Characteristics of the ionospheric total electron content of the equatorial ionization anomaly in the Asian-Australian region during 1996–2004
Ionospheric total electron content (TEC) of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) is studied by analyzing dual-frequency signals of the Global Position System (GPS) acquired from a network of receivers around the AsianAustralian region during 1996–2004. The latitude, occurrence time, strength of the most developed EIA crest, and crest-to-trough ratio (CTR) for both the noon and post-sunset se...
متن کاملIonospheric total electron content (TEC) studies with GPS in the equatorial region
This paper essentially deals with the effects of equatorial ionization anomaly gradient on space-based navigation systems like GPS. The equatorial region of the ionosphere, which extends about ±30dip about the magnetic equator, is characterized by a steep latitudinal gradient, not only in the maximum ionization but also in the total electron content (TEC), through a major part of the day. This ...
متن کاملFeatures of annual and semiannual variations derived from the global ionospheric maps of total electron content
In the present work we use the NASA-JPL global ionospheric maps of total electron content (TEC), firstly to construct TEC maps (TEC vs. magnetic local time MLT, and magnetic latitude MLAT) in the interval from 1999 to 2005. These TEC maps were, in turn, used to estimate the annualto-mean amplitude ratio, A1, and the semiannual-to-mean amplitude ratio, A2, as well as the latitudinal symmetrical ...
متن کاملObservations in equatorial anomaly region of total electron content enhancements and depletions
A GSV 4004A GPS receiver has been operational near the crest of the equatorial anomaly at Udaipur, India for some time now. The receiver provides the line-of-sight total electron content (TEC), the phase and amplitude scintillation index, σφ and S4, respectively. This paper presents the first results on the nighttime TEC depletions associated with the equatorial spread F in the Indian zone. The...
متن کاملVariations of ionospheric total electron content during the Chi-Chi earthquake
On 20 September 1999 UT (21 September in local time, LT) a large earthquake Mw=7.7 struck central Taiwan near the small town of Chi-Chi. The greatest plasma frequency in the ionosphere, foF2, observed by the ChungLi ionosonde (25.0N, 121.2E) reveals three clear precursors at 1, 3, and 4 days prior to the earthquake. This paper examines the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) observed by a ...
