During the next solar maximum GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) technology will enable TEC and scintillation measurements with inexpensive receivers that are conveniently sited on roof tops, simply connected via the web, and easily operated at universities, science centers, and schools. This development presents a singular opportunity beyond current strategies for investigating the ionosphere. Ionospheric disturbances, irregularities, and societal impact have been investigated for decades at equatorial latitudes and high latitudes. Mid-latitude disturbances have largely been neglected until recently because of the relative infrequency of events. At equatorial latitudes investigations have primarily been from single sites prior to the advent of GPS. Even at high latitudes ionospheric measurements relating to density and irregularities have primarily been from single sites. With GNSS technology enabling ionospheric instrumentation equivalent to weather buoys, the extreme events with societal impact at mid-latitudes can be characterized and the dynamic global ionospheric behavior and response to forcing can be investigated. We show several examples to support this conclusion.
