Abstract: The possibility of constructing regional maps of the ionosphere TEC with a spatial resolution of 50—100 kilometers according to the GNSS network base stations is justified. The developed technique allowed detecting the presence of stationary irregularities in the mid-latitude ionosphere, with a spatial scale of about three hundred kilometers and time of existence about two hours |
| Keywords: GNSS, ionospheric irregularities, maps |
