abstract = "The present work shows the preliminary results from the analysis
for developing an ionospheric scale index map based on the
Disturbance Ionosphere indeX (DIX). This index aims to target all
the different user groups affected by ionospheric disturbances,
for example, the navigation, positioning, and satellite
communication users, in a simple and straightforward approach.
Therefore, we used the vertical total electron content (VTEC) over
South America to calculate the total electron content (TEC) maps
covering latitudes from 60°S to 20°N and longitudes from 90°W to
30°W, with 0.5° × 0.5° resolution. Afterward, the DIX maps are
obtained to reveal the variation of the TEC over an average quiet
ionosphere background. In order to illustrate the use of the map
index, the ionospheric disturbances after and during the 1723
December 2015 intense geomagnetic storm and the 2015 Saint Patrick
magnetic storm are discussed, highlighting the disturbances in the
DIX at different latitudinal ranges and under different magnetic
conditions.",
