What Does TID Stand For?
TID stands for Traveling Ionospheric Disturbance
Traveling Ionospheric Disturbance (TID) refers to a significant variation in the ionosphere's electron density, which propagates across large distances and can affect radio wave propagation. TIDs are typically caused by factors such as atmospheric waves, solar activity, and geomagnetic storms. Understanding TIDs is crucial for enhancing communication systems and navigation technologies that rely on ionospheric conditions.
