Short summary
Global total electron content data derived from the assimilated thermosphere–ionosphere model are analyzed using empirical orthogonal function (EOF) decomposition and the principal component analysis technique. The spectral analysis of the time series of the EOF coefficients reveals how different mechanisms such as solar flux variation, change in the orbital declination, nonlinear mode coupling and geomagnetic activity are separated and expressed in different EOFs.
