. Equatorial Electrojet (EEJ) and Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) are two large-scale processes in the equatorial/low latitude ionosphere, driven primarily by the eastward electric field during daytime. In the present paper we investigate the correlation between the Integrated EEJ strength (IEEJ) and the EIA parameters like the total electron content at the northern crest, location of crest in Magnetic latitude and strength of the EIA for the Indian sector. A good correlation has been observed between the IEEJ and EIA when a time delay is introduced between IEEJ and EIA parameters. This time delay is regarded as the response time of equatorial ionosphere in context of the evolution of EIA vis-a-vis EEJ. Further, a seasonal variation in the time delay has been observed, which is believed to be due to changes in thermospheric wind. Using the response time and the linear relationship obtained, the possibility of near-real time prediction of EIA parameters has been attempted and found that the prediction holds well during the geomagnetically quiet periods. The paper discusses these aspects in detail.read more

Two Anomalies in the Ionosphere
TL;DR: In this article, a study of these data has disclosed the remarkable result that although ionospheric events in the E and F1 layers are similarly reproduced at the same local time on the same day at all locations on a line of constant geographic latitude, the same is by no means the case for the F2 layer.
Ionospheric Effects on GPS
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the major effects of the ionosphere on GPS performance, including the following: 1) group delay of the signal modulation, or absolute range error, 2) carrier phase advance, or relative range error; 3) Doppler shift, or range-rate errors; 4) Faraday rotation of linearly polarized signals; 5) refraction or bending of the radio wave; 6) distortion of pulse waveforms; 7) signal amplitude fading or amplitude scintillation; and 8) phase scintillations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the temporal and spatial variations in TEC derived from the simultaneous and continuous measurements made, for the first time, using the Indian GPS network of 18 receivers located from the equator to the northern crest of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) region and beyond, covering a geomagnetic latitude range of 1° S to 24° N, using a 16-month period of data for the low sunspot activity (LSSA) years of March 2004 to June 2005.
