Highlights High time resolution ionosonde measurements during a solar eclipse are very useful. Effects of the eclipse are also seen in plasma drift and ionospheric tilt observations. True-height density contours combined with drift and tilt observations shows TIDs.
Abstract The ionospheric behavior over Belgium during the partial solar eclipse of 20 March 2015 is analyzed based on high-resolution solar radio flux, vertical incidence sounding, and GPS TEC measurements. First results of ionosonde-based ionospheric plasma drift and tilt observations are presented and analyzed, including some traveling ionospheric disturbances caused by the eclipse. Also, collocated ionosonde and GPS measurements are used to reconstruct the time evolution of the vertical electron density distribution using the Royal Meteorological Institute (RMI) ionospheric specification system, called Local Ionospheric Electron Density profile Reconstruction (Liedr).
