SUMMARY OF THE EVENT: A double CME hit Earth's magnetic field on June 16th (source: www.sidc.be). As a consequence the Earth's ionosphere above Europe was mainly disturbed between 17/06/2012 05:30 UTC and 18/06/2012 17:00 UTC. Indeed, a significant decrease of the Total Electron Content (difference maximum of 24 TECu with respect to the 15 previous days the 17/06/2012 at 15:45UTC) was observed above Europe.

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:
