Properties Definition Type
electronContent The number of electrons along a ray path between a transmitter and a receiver. This number is significant in determining ionospheric effects such as refraction, dispersion, and group delay on radio waves, and can be used to estimate critical frequencies. The total electron content (TEC) is strongly affected by solar and geomagnetic activity. ValParticleContentType
