Event: 2012-11-01

SUMMARY OF THE EVENT: The Total Electron Cntent (TEC) in the ionosphere was disturbed over Europe during the day and the evening of the 01/11/2012. This might be due to an increase in the solar wind density which was observed by ACE and SOHO/CELIAS satellites the 31/10/2012. The origin of the event is unclear but is possible related to a weak eruption and CME of last Saturday afternoon (Oct 27). (source :www.sidc.be).
