A statistical analysis of GNSS-derived 2014 mid-latitude TEC climate at Matera, Italy

The paper presents a statistical analysis of GNSS-derived Total Electron Content (TEC) observations at the mid-latitude station in Matera, Italy, during 2014. The study examines TEC variability in relation to ionospheric, geomagnetic and space-weather conditions, with particular emphasis on the occurrence and dynamics of geomagnetic disturbances. The results contribute to a better understanding and mitigation of ionospheric effects on GNSS-based technological systems.
