Title:
Ionosphere Total Electron Content - April 2001
Description:
The high electron density plume (dark red) sweeps over the U.S and Canada.
Abstract:
A view of the ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) measured over North America during a storm in April 2001. Red is high electron counts, blue is low, grey where there is no data. From the pre-storm state, we see relatively low electron counts . As the storm intensity increases, so do the number of electrons. The increase will generate more interference for communications systems, GPS, etc.
