The disturbances of the ionosphere caused by thunderstorms or lightning events in troposphere have an impact on global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals. Gravity waves (GWs) triggered are one main factors that drive short-period Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances (TIDs). At mid-latitudes, ionospheric GWs can be detected GNSS However, at low latitudes, multi-variability leads to difficulties identifying induced through data. Though during low-latitude been investigated, explicit GW...
