  • Released Monday, December 5, 2005
View full credits

A view of the ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) measured over North America during a storm in April 2001. Red is high electron counts, blue is low, gray where there is no data. From the pre-storm state, we see relatively low electron counts. As the storm intensity increases, so do the number of electrons. The increase will generate more interference for communications systems, GPS, etc.
