Title:
Zoom-in to plasmapause-induced TEC enhancement - April 2001
Instrument:
IMAGE/EUV
Description:
The plasmasphere plume passes below the observer, enhancing the electron content of the ionosphere below it.
Abstract:
Space weather events which disturb the plasmapause (displayed here as a green surface enclosing the Earth) can propagate down to the Earth's ionosphere. There they enhance the ionosphere electron content which can disrupt radio signals from satellites.
