Fig. 3From: Statistical analysis of ionospheric mid-latitude trough over the Northern Hemisphere derived from GPS total electron content dataThe trough minimum position versus the daily Kp index during equinox. The data correspond to the near-midnight region (2300–0100 MLT) and median solar activity (100 ≤ F107 ≤ 115). The red solid line shows the linear fit of the data. The correlation coefficient (c.c.) and the linear regression equation are also shown in the figureBack to article page
