Probing Equatorial Ionospheric TEC at Sub-GHz Frequencies with Wide-Band (B4) uGMRT Interferometric Data by Dipanjan Banerjee, Abhik Ghosh, Sushanta K. Mondal, Parimal Ghosh

“…Radio interferometers such as the giant metrewave radio telescope (GMRT) are capable of detecting changes in the ionosphere’s total electron content (TEC) over larger spatial scales and with greater sensitivity compared to conventional tools like the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). Thanks to its unique design, featuring both a dense central array and long outer arms, and its strategic location, the GMRT is particularly well-suited for studying the sensitive ionospheric region located between the northern peak of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) and the magnetic equator. …”
