TECU level in the Southern Pacific region on October 30. Also shown is our various GIM TEC estimates largely underestimating the high TEC values due to lack of GPS coverage in that part of the world. One specific example I would like to point out: ftp://sideshow.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/axk/storm/jason_031030.tiff Furthermore: Complete movies of the October 29-30 events, using Jason-1 tracks, indicate large anomalies in the Pacific region: ftp://sideshow.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/axk/jason/20031029_anim.mpeg and ftp://sideshow.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/axk/jason/20031030_anim.mpeg GIM and point plots in mpeg movie format also show interesting features: ftp://sideshow.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/axk/oct2003/ Please let me know if you have any questions.
