| Abstract: | The radio telescope MEXART was developed to make observations of interplanetary scintillation (IPS) produced by large scale disturbances associated with solar events. In this work it is shown that on occasion there are disturbances in the ionosphere that are related with these events and which cannot only contaminate the IPS but actually be the main contribution to the observed oscillations. This was the case of the event of 15 December 2006 observed by MEXART, which presented clear scintillation. The total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere above Mexico was calculated for the same period. It was found that the variations in TEC were associated with the scintillations detected by MEXART. |
