Here some satellite sensory information for this morning, 22nd May 2016. (Ionospheric and TEC)
TEC for today, 04:55 UTC, on 22-05-2015
GOES MAGNETOMETER
The GOES Hp plot contains the 1-minute averaged parallel component
of the magnetic field in nanoTeslas (nT), as measured at
GOES-13 (W75) and GOES-15 (W89).
The Hp component is perpendicular to the satellite orbit plane and Hp
is essentially parallel to Earth's rotation axis. If these data
drop to near zero, or less, when the satellite is on the dayside it
may be due to a compression of Earth's magnetopause to within
geosynchronous orbit, exposing satellites to negative and/or highly
variable magnetic fields. On the nightside, a near zero, or less,
value of the field indicates strong currents that are often associated
with substorms and an intensification of currents in the Earth's geomagnetic tail.
Noon and midnight local time at the satellite are plotted as N and M.
Default scaling is 0 to 200 nanoTesla. Non-default scaling to include
infrequent extreme values is lableled in red to emphasize the change
in scale.
