Abstract

Slant Total Electron Content values from Global Navigation Satellite System are used to detect the Equatorial Plasma Bubbles in the Ionosphere.

Steps

1.

Download GPS data from SOPAC website in RINEX format

2.

Data is converted from RINEX to .cmn format using GPS TEC software

3.

Calculate ROT and ROTI

4.

Difference between Evening ROTI and Day time ROTI is calculated

5.

If the difference exceeds 0.05, then Equatorial Plasma Bubble is Detected
