A full halo coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are most energetic solar events that eject huge amount of mass and magnetic fields into heliosphere with 360o angular angle. The full halo CME effect on the ionosphere can be determined from the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) derived from GPS data. GPS data from BAKO station in Cibinong, satellite orbital data (brcd files) and intrumental bias data (DCB files) have been used to obtain TEC using GOPI software. Analysis of  the full halo CME data, Dst index, and TEC during October 2003 and February 2014 showed that the full halo CME could cause ionospheric disturbances called ionospheric storms. Magnitude and time delay of the ionospheric storms  depended on the full halo CME speed. For the high-speed full halo CME, the negative ionospheric storm generally occured during recovery phase of the geomagnetic storm. When the initial phase of geomagnetic disturbance with increasing Dst index more than +30 nT, the ionospheric storm occured during main phase of geomagnetic disturbance although the main phase of geomagnetic disturbance did not reach geomagnetic storm condition. ABSTRAKCoronal mass ejection  (CME) halo penuh merupakan peristiwa matahari  berenergi tinggi, yang menyemburkan massa dan medan magnet ke heliosfer dengan sudut angular sebesar 360º. Efek  CME halo penuh pada ionosfer dapat diketahui dari Total Electron Content (TEC). Data GPS BAKO di Cibinong, data orbit satelit (file brcd) dan data bias instrumental (file DCB) dapat digunakan untuk penentuan TEC menggunakan software GOPI. Analisis data CME halo penuh, indeks Dst, dan TEC selama bulan Oktober 2003 dan Februari 2014 menunjukkan bahwa CME halo penuh dapat menimbulkan gangguan ionosfer yang disebut badai ionosfer. Besar dan selang waktu badai ionosfer setelah terjadinya CME, tergantung pada kelajuan CME halo penuh. Untuk CME halo penuh berkelajuan tinggi, badai ionosfer negatif umumnya terjadi pada fase pemulihan badai geomagnet. Jika fase awal gangguan geomagnet diawali dengan peningkatan indeks Dst melebihi +30 nT, maka badai ionosfer dapat terjadi pada fase utama gangguan geomagnet walau gangguan geomagnet setelah  fase awal tidak mencapai kondisi badai geomagnet.

Ionosphere is part of the atmospheric layer located between 50 to 1000 km above the earth's surface which consists of electrons that can influence the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the form of additional time in signal propagation, this depends on Total Electron Content (TEC) in the ionosphere and frequency GPS signal. In high positioning precision with GPS, the effect of the ionosphere must be estimated so that ionospheric correction can be determined to eliminate the influence of the ionosphere on GPS observation. Determination of ionospheric correction can be done by calculating the TEC value using dual frequency GPS data from reference stations or models. In making the TEC model, a polynomial function is used for certain hours. The processing results show that the maximum TEC value occurs at noon at 2:00 p.m. WIB for February 13, 2018 with a value of 35,510 TECU and the minimum TEC value occurs in the morning at 05.00 WIB for February 7, 2018 with a value of 2,138 TECU. The TEC model spatially shows the red color in the area of Surabaya and its surroundings for the highest TEC values during the day around 13.00 WIB to 16.00 WIB.

Abstract. The study of diurnal and seasonal variations in total electron content (TEC) over Nigeria has been prompted by the recent increase in the number of GPS continuously operating reference stations (CORSs) across Nigeria as well as the reduced costs of microcomputing. The GPS data engaged in this study were recorded in the year 2012 at nine stations in Nigeria located between geomagnetic latitudes – 4.33 and 0.72° N. The GPS data were used to derive GPS TEC, which was analysed for diurnal and seasonal variations. The results obtained were used to produce local GPS TEC maps and bar charts. The derived GPS TEC across all the stations demonstrates consistent minimum diurnal variations during the pre-sunrise hours 04:00 to 06:00 LT, increases with sharp gradient during the sunrise period (∼ 07:00 to 09:00 LT), attains postnoon maximum at about 14:00 LT, and then falls to a minimum just before sunset. Generally, daytime variations are found to be greater than nighttime variations, which range between 0 and 5 TECU. The seasonal variation depicts a semi-annual distribution with higher values (∼ 25–30 TECU) around equinoxes and lower values (∼ 20–25 TECU) around solstices. The December Solstice magnitude is slightly higher than the June Solstice magnitude at all stations, while March Equinox magnitude is also slightly higher than September Equinox magnitude at all stations. Thus, the seasonal variation shows an asymmetry in equinoxes and solstices, with the month of October displaying the highest values of GPS TEC across the latitudes.
