| Abstract | The Total Electron Content (TEC) of the ionosphere has been widely used by the scientific community to study the phenomenology and the behavior of the ionospheric plasma under different scenarios. In the equatorial and low latitude region, TEC maps have allowed the development techniques to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of the depleted plasma structures characterized as equatorial plasma bubbles. Majority of the tools currently used to generate TEC maps have been developed for northern hemispheric regions of Asian, European and American sectors, where rather dense spatial coverage of GPS/GNSS receivers are available, and therefore assumption of a uniform distribution of TEC values are justifiable. These tools can present some deficiencies when used for the Latin American region where the spatial coverage of the receivers continues to be considerably more sparse. In this work, an alternative approach for the generation of TEC maps has been developed by the authors. This approach uses the real spatial distribution of the GPS receivers in Latin America and, consequently, the assumption that the TEC values have a uniform spatial distribution is not needed for the purpose of this investigation. Additionally, this alternative tool is used to process the TEC maps information in order to generate keograms which allow a better visualization of the temporal evolution of the dynamic characteristics of the plasma bubble structures. A comparison between the results from this alternative tool and TEC maps generated through other available methodologies is also presented. Furthermore, the keograms are evaluated in association with zonal plasma drift from Digisonde and ionospheric scintillation data. These results reveal some appreciable improvements in the description of TEC map over Latin American region, which is helpful for space weather and telecommunication communities in the understanding of the phenomenology over this region. | |||
