T Index Map

The below image shows a near real-time T index difference map. The differences are calculated by subtracting the predicted monthly T index for the global ionosphere from the observed T index. The observed T index is computed from the foF2 observations. More details on deriving T index from foF2 measurements can be found in T Index FAQ. The last 7 days of maps can be viewed using the control buttons underneath the image.

The map shows four levels of T index difference contours. The depressed regions (yellow and red colours) can have weak to very poor high frequency communication support.
