Global Teleconnections of Rapid Ionospheric Fluctuations as Observed via GNSS Measurements by Enric Monte-Moreno, Manuel Hernandez-Pajares, Heng Yang

“…The two findings concerning rapid fluctuations in the electron content of the ionosphere are: 1) evidence of synchronous teleconnections in rapid local electron content variations across a wide range of geographical regions of the globe; and 2) the influence of the solar cycle on the geographic distribution of teleconnections is relatively minor, primarily impacting the frequency of teleconnections per unit of time. We characterize teleconnection patterns for different space weather variables throughout the 2016–2022 study period, encompassing the descending and ascending phases of solar cycles 24 and 25. …”
