GAP Vertical TEC Quicklook Plot

An interactive GAP Vertical TEC Quicklook Plot is generated for each day GAP has a turn on session.

In the top 3D plot, the derived TECU (Total Electron Content Units) from the GAP GPS data is displayed along the CASSIOPE orbit path. In the bottom 2D plot the TECU is plotted with respect to Universal Time and CASSIOPE ephemeris, which includes geographic latitude (degrees), geographic longitude (degrees), altitude (km), magnetic latitude (degrees), and magnetic local time (hours).

Click and drag the 3D map for a better view, hover over the orbit paths on the 3D map for additional information on specific data points, or hover over the 2D map data for additional information on specific data points.
