SUMMARY OF THE EVENT: The ionospheric VTEC started to increase at around 11:30(UTC), the differences with respect to the median of the 15 previous days reaches its maximum peak at 14:00(UTC) with up to 77% of increase. It went back to a quiet state after 17:00(UTC). The beginning of the VTEC increased corresponds to the beginning of the sign inversion of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field Bz component.

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:
