Abstract: Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) phase measurements of the total electron content (TEC) and ionospheric delay are sensitive to sudden increases in electron density in the layers of the Earth’s ionosphere. These sudden ionospheric disruptions, or SIDs, are due to enhanced X-ray and extreme ultraviolet radiation from a solar flare that drastically increases the electron density in localized regions. SIDs are solar flare signatures in the Earth’s ionosphere and can be observed with very…
