Granger causality analysis of deviation in total electron content during geomagnetic storms in the equatorial region
Abstract The total electron content (TEC) in the ionosphere widely influences Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) especially for critical applications by inducing localized positional errors in the GNSS measurements. These errors can be mitigated by measuring TEC from stations located around...
