抄録 | We have developed a system of the rapid derivation of the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere from GEONET (a dense GPS receiver network in Japan), which offers unique opportunities for a permanent monitoring of the ionosphere. The latest TEC values (with a delay of 1-3hours) are obtained every 3 hours, and most of the values are within 1-2 TEC units of the actual TEC. We have found the system quite powerful for continuously monitoring the progress of ionospheric storms. In addition to the plot of TEC temporal variation at 5 latitude regions over Japan, we have used a two-dimensional TEC map since 2008. The TEC map can detect the ionospheric disturbances over Japan, including large-amplitude traveling ionospheric disturbances, and plasma bubbles intruding over Japan, with high resolution. The development of the near realtime monitoring system of TEC enables us to monitor large ionospheric disturbances, ranging from global- to small- scale disturbances, expected in the next solar maximum. The plot and maps are open to the public and are available on http://wdc.nict.go.jp/IONO/. |
