The global traveling ionospheric disturbances(TIDs) during the drastic magnetic storms of October 29-31, 2003 were analyzed using the Global Position System(GPS) total electron content(TEC) data observed in the Asian-Australian,European and North American *** collected the most comprehensive set of the TEC data from more than 900 GPS stations on the International GNSS Services(IGS) website and introduce here a strategy that combines polynomial fitting and multi-channel maximum entropy spectral analysis to obtain TID *** results of our study are summarized as follows:(1) large-scale TIDs(LSTIDs) and mediumscale TIDs(MSTIDs) were detected in all three sectors after the sudden commencement(SC) of the magnetic storm,and their features showed longitudinal and latitudinal *** duration of TIDs was longer at higher latitudes than at middle latitudes,with a maximum of about 16 *** TEC variation amplitude of LSTIDs was larger in the North American sector than in the two other *** the lower latitudes,the ionospheric perturbations were more complicated,and their duration and amplitude were relatively longer and larger.(2) The periods and phase speeds of TIDs were different in these three *** Europe,the TIDs propagated southward;in North America and Asia,the TIDs propagated southwestward;in the near-equator region,the disturbances propagated with the azimuth(the angle of the propagation direction of the LSTIDs measured clockwise from due north with 0°) of 210°showing the influence of Coriolis force;in the Southern Hemisphere,the LSTIDs propagated conjugatedly *** the southwestward and northeastward propagating LSTIDs are found in the equator *** results mean that the Coriolis effect cannot be ignored for the wave propagation of LSTIDs and that the propagation direction is correlated with polar magnetic activity.
