SUMMARY OF THE EVENT: Following the Coronal Mass Ejection of the 28th February, an increase of the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) was observed above the southern part of Europe the 1st march 2021. This increase of TEC was greater than +15 TECu (+125%) with respect to the TEC of a quiet day around the peak at 09:00 UTC. It lasted from 8:00 to 16:00 UTC.
