Correlation analysis of travelling ionospheric disturbances (TID) due to ionospheric and troposheric events / Nadira Raihan Abd Rahman

This project focuses on the effects of TID at various altitudes of the ionospheric layers. TID is part of disturbance that occurs at ionosphere and it is caused by sun activities. Int his project, two main events; the Earthquake on the 26th December 2004 and Geomagnetic Storm on the 14th April 2006...

Description
Summary:This project focuses on the effects of TID at various altitudes of the ionospheric layers. TID is part of disturbance that occurs at ionosphere and it is caused by sun activities. Int his project, two main events; the Earthquake on the 26th December 2004 and Geomagnetic Storm on the 14th April 2006 were chosen. The main parameter in this project is Total Electron Content (TEC). TEC is extracted using GPS dual frequency data which in RINEX (Receiver Independent Exchange Format) format that supplied by JUPEM (Department Of Survey and Mapping Malaysia) and taken from receiver stations located at Universiti Teknologi Mara, Arau, for the event of earthquake and Kashima, Japan (KSMV), Station for the event of Geomagnetic Storm. The TEC is computed for different altitude that range from 50km up to 750km. The results show that both events for ionospheric and tropospheric influence the amount of TID can be detected at all chosen altitudes.
