A statistically significant positive trend of 0.6 ± 0.3 total electron content unit (TECU; 1 TECU = 1016 el m−2) per decade is detected in the 15 year record of daily averaged global total electron content obtained from multiple GPS observations between 1995 and 2010. The trend is extracted using a...
