GPS-TEC and Solar flux observations in ascending and descending phase of Solar Cycle
The Total Electron Content (TEC) is computed from Global Positing System (GPS) from Bangalore (13.020N, 77.570E) and IGS station for the period 2002 to 2013. We compared the GPS TEC with Solar Flux in quiet and disturbed period during the descending phase of solar cycle 23 and ascending phase of solar cycle 24. GPS data of other available low latitude IGS stations in India were analyzed and compared with Solar Flux. We found that the both average GPS-TEC were positively correlation with solar flux in quiet and disturbed condition for the entire 12 year period. This study investigates the seasonal response of TEC during the solar minimum and maximum period.
