Abstract:The present paper studies the latitudinal and longitudinal variation of ionospheric semidiurnal lunar tide (M2) perturbations in 2013 with total electron content (TEC) data. Results show that the latitudinal distribution of M2 exhibits longitudinal difference. At 100 ∼ 120°E and 80 ∼ 100°W longitudes, the strongest M2 perturbations in the northern and southern hemispheres roundly appeared at about 10° ∼ 20°N and 15° ∼ 25°S magnetic latitude (MLAT), respectively, which supports previous suggestion that the M2 m… Show more
