A GPS network in Japan has detected TEC wave fronts that travel to the southwest in the nighttime.
European Sector: NotoLong: 15.0, Lat: 36.9, CGM-Lat: 29.1
West Pacific Sector (South): Alice SpringsLong: 133.9, Lat: -23.7, CGM-Lat: -34.2
American Sector (South): La PlataLong: 302.1, Lat: -34.9, CGM-Lat: -23.1
American Sector (South): IsabellaLong: 292.9, Lat: 18.5, CGM-Lat: 28.9
SummaryMedium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances in the
midlatitude ionosphere detected with total electron content observation by GPS receivers.
Propagation velocity:100m/s, wavelength: 300km Nighttime: Southwestward propagation, Summer and Winter Daytime: Southward (south-southeastward) propagation, Winter Daytime peak is common at any longitudes. Nighttime peaks show
longitudinal differences. Day-to-day variation: No geomagnetic activity dependency Low amplitude in the high solar activity period Amplitude of nighttime TID is large at lower latitudes.
