The Error of Global Ionospheric Map‐TEC During Equatorial Plasma Bubble Event in the High Solar Activity Year by Long Tang, Fenkai Zhang, Wu Chen

“…The results present several interesting findings: (a) The observed dSTEC series is biased when an EPB is observed at the highest satellite elevation, leading to a fake bias in GIM‐TEC; (b) When an EPB occurred, the error of GIM‐TEC can increases or decreases and its variation sign is unrelated to the magnitude of EPB; (c) The average of the EPB‐induced GIM‐TEC errors is mainly at −5 to 5 TECU with 76% (24%) of positive (negative) values, and the maximum (minimum) is close to 10 TECU (−10 TECU); (d) The structure of EPB is unable to be captured by the GIM‐TEC series.…”
