Abstract Evaluating the coincidence accuracy and time-varying characteristics of global total electron content (TEC) grid data can contribute to the improvement of the performance of global ionosphere maps (GIMs) and provide effective data support and theoretical verification for GIMs model update. This paper applies the global TEC grid data and GPS single-station ionospheric TEC data published by IGS from 1999 to 2020, as well as the F10.7 and SSN data series provided by the World Sunspot Index Data Center in Belgium. Using correlation, time series, and contour chart analyses, the correlation between TEC RMS and F10.7, SSN, and the accuracy-compliant space–time variation characteristics in the global TEC grid data are studied and analyzed. The results show the accuracy of the global TEC grid data is highly correlated with the solar activity intensity. The mean values of the correlation coefficients R between TEC RMS and F10.7, SSN are 0.755 and 0.707, respectively. The internal coincidence accuracy of single station GPS-TEC and global grid TEC is better than 3 TECU and is closely related to the solar activity. Globally, TEC RMS in land and ocean areas have significant differences. In general, the accuracy of the northern hemisphere is significantly higher than that of the southern hemisphere, and the accuracy of land is higher than that of the ocean. Among them, the accuracy of Europe and North America is the highest, the precision of the Pacific region is obviously on the low side, and “double hump” phenomenon can be observed. The accuracy of the global TEC grid data is closely related to the number of stations and satellites. The accuracy of the TEC grid data is higher in areas where the number of stations is dense, or when there are more satellites.
