SUMMARY OF THE EVENT: A CME that left the sun at midnight on October 2nd generated a geomagnetic storm (Kp between 5 and 7) (source: www.sidc.be). As a consequence the Earth ionosphere was disturbed on October 2nd with an increase of TEC in the south and a decrease in the North. The next day (03/10/2013) the TEC decreased with respect to the median of the 15 previous days.

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:
