The C/NOFS satellite was launched in April 2008 into a 13 degree inclination equatorial orbit. The vehicle carries vector electric field and two optical lightning power-time profile detectors, oriented in the north and south directions, which record hundreds to thousands of lightning strokes on every orbit. This talk will first demonstrate the signature of lightning in the data, and then provide analysis of the upward propagating whistler wave dispersion. From this dispersion, as demonstrated previously by multiple rocket flights in the ionosphere over thunderstorms, a near direct measure of the TEC (Total Electron Content) vertically below the satellite is provided. We provide analysis of the night time ionospheric TEC as a function of local time and altitude along the C/NOFS orbit between 400 and 850 km.
