SUMMARY OF THE EVENT: The 12/03/2012 at about 08:40 UTC, ACE observations show the shock arrival due to the solar Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) associated with the solar flare of the 09/03/2012 (source: www.sidc.be). As a consequence, the Earth's ionosphere above Europe was disturbed during the 12/03/2012 from 11:30UTC to 17:00UTC.

Figure 1 shows the time evolution of the Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) (in red) extracted from the near-real time VTEC maps at 3 different latitudes (Figure 2): a) Northern part (top), b) Brussels (middle) and c) Southern part (bottom). Also shown, the model based on the median from the 15 previous days (in grey). About this event, see also:
