Variations in total electron content during the phases of low and high solar activities
Mariyam Jamilah Homam1, Mohamad Aizat Ezri Ahmad Hapizudin2.
Variations in the Total Electron Content of the ionosphere were studied by
utilizing data from the GISTM receiver installed at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn
Malaysia. The study was conducted during periods of low solar activity (July
2007–July 2008) and high solar activity (July 2013–July 2014). Results show
that the TEC are dependent on the solar activity.The values during high solar
activity were significantly higher than that obtained during the solar
minimum phase. The minimum TEC values for both phases varied between
89% and 97%, and the maximum TEC values varied between 70% and 81%.
The pattern of daily TEC value changes was constant, and TEC peaked in
the afternoon at ~14 LT. The highest TEC recorded during the solar maximum
phase was 144.5 TEC Unit (TECU) in April 2014, whereas the highest TEC
recorded during the solar minimum phase was 36.3 TECU in April 2008. TEC
was maximized from March to May under both solar maximum and
minimum phases.
