Today i was going back to surf NASA's website in a bid to find out why it is so damn hot these days - is there a major Solar Activity going on?
Anyway i ended up at this site about Ionoshpere. Interesting though, you could download google maps and see what is the Total Electron Contents (TEC) in the Ionoshpere now!
