Abstract :
In this study, the two-dimensional horizontal structure of EPB was observed using GPS total electron content (TEC) measurement in South East Asia region. Rate of TEC index (ROTI) is calculated from GPS TEC measurement and plotted onto two-dimensional map in geographic coordinate. Depletion of The OI 630.0 nm emission is completely coincided with ROTI enhancement region from GPS TEC measurement. Therefore, the observation using GPS TEC measurement is able to provide spatial and temporal properties of EPB in SEA region.
