    Abstract
  • By using Total Electron Content (TEC) at Wuhan station (30.5°N, 114.4°E), sunspot numbers and geomagnetic index from 1997 to 2007, some typical characters such as diurnal variation, seasonal variation, and semiannual variation, correlation with solar activity were analyzed. A case study was made on the responses and possible mechanism of ionosphere TEC to the magnetic storm during 13-17 April 2006. Analysis results show that diurnal variation exists constantly in high and low solar activity. Some features like semiannual anomaly and winter anomaly in TEC had been reported, but changed with solar activity. The correlation coefficient for yearly sunspot number with TEC is 0.9611. TEC correlates with the geomagnetic AE well. The response of TEC to geomagnetic storm may be caused by penetrating electric fields and neutral winds, and the specific mechanism needed to be analyzed in the future.
