Description

Total electron content (TEC) was obtained from bottomside ionograms recorded at an equatorial station (Ouagadougou, 12.4 deg. N, 358.5 deg. E). Variability in TEC obtained in this way (ITEC) was investigated. Diurnal, seasonal and solar cycle effects were observed. Both absolute and relative variability were considered. The results obtained were compared with those of another equatorial station (Ghana, 5.63 deg. N, 359.8 deg. E) where the TEC was obtained by the Faraday rotation technique. The variations in variability at both stations follow the same trend. (author)
