The behavior of the meridional component of the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) gradient over Lindau (52 deg N, 10 deg E) is investigated in connection with temporal TEC changes using the medians of both quantities. Average TEC increases and their interpretation in terms of vertical and horizontal plasma fluxes are examined. Regular northward ionization increases are found near sunrise in summer. Average TEC increases or markedly reduced decreases during the night are obtained for almost every month during the observation period. A discussion of the TEC gradient variations over Lindau shows that they clearly reflect well-known effects and periodicities in the ionosphere, such as seasonal anomaly, semiannual and annual variation, and sunrise effect, even when these phenomena cannot be identified in the TEC values themselves. In addition, the meridional component of the gradients shows a semiannual variation for the time shortly after midnight which does not appear in the total electron content over Lindau.
