Polar Topside TEC Enhancement Revealed by Jason‐2 Measurements

Abstract Significant polar topside total electron content (topTEC) enhancement (PTTE) above 1,336 km altitude is reported for the first time. The results are based on GPS measurements during 2008–2019 from NASA's Jason‐2 satellite with zenith‐oriented antennas. The observations show increasing...
