Ionospheric monitoring at INGV has a long history, which began with the installation of one of the first ionospheric observatories in the world in 1947. In recent time, the network has strongly increased its capability in terms of global distribution of the monitoring stations as well as concerning the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) infrastructure, which allow the near-real time acquisition, the historical data preservation and the online data dissemination. The network is currently composed of several GNSS receivers for TEC and scintillation monitoring aimed at studying and monitoring the ionospheric irregularities as well as ionosondes, performing ionospheric vertical radio soundings.
