  2. Abstract • TEC longitudinal variation; • Magnetic Declination Angles Dependence; • São Luís (2.33° S, 315.8ºE, declination = -19o) in Brazil • Arequipa (16.5°S, 288.5ºE, declination = 0.5o) in Perú • TEC variations for three solar activity levels; • TEC values over São Luís are larger than that ones over Arequipa; • SUPIM model has been used to investigate such difference.

  3. TEC Longitudinal Variation • It is well known: • TEC data show strong annual/semiannual, solar cycle, and 27-days variations. • However, it is not known: • How is the TEC variation associated with different magnetic declination angles?

  4. TEC Temporal Pattern and Magnetic Declination Angle Effect • It is well known that the magnetic declination angle may affect: • The PRE vertical ExB drift (Batista et al., 1986); • The plasma bubble development (Abdu et al., 1981); • EEJ pattern (Shumeet al., 2010).

  18. TEC Semiannual Variation Period

  19. Summary • TEC semiannual variation during daytime was establish, with two peak located over the equinoctial condition. • The period of the TEC semiannual variation is better represented over high solar activity with period equal to ~185 days. • The highest TEC magnitude was found over São Luís, the main reason for this feature could be attributed to the large negative declination angle over Brazil.
