SUMMARY OF THE EVENT: The ionosphere was disturbed the 14th and 15th of October 2013, characterized by an increase of TEC the 14th and followed by a depletion of TEC during the 15th. These disturbances are linked with the geomagnetic activity index Kp which was in the active range (4-5) (see swans.meteo.be), probably due to the M1.7 solar flare of the 13th of October 2013.

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:
