Sudden increases of the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) during the great solar flare burst near 2356 UT on April 24, 1984 were simultaneously observed at Xinxiang and Chongqing by means of Faraday rotation measurements of the VHF signals from the Japanese geostationary satellite ETS-II. These sudden increases lasted 3.5 min, and the values of TEC increases at Xinxiang and Chongqing reached (9.4 and 14.3) x 10 to the 16th electrons/sq m, respectively. The phenomenon recorded by polarimeters is compared with results from neighboring ionosondes and a VLF phase-locked receiver. The analysis shows that there are appreciable increases of electron density both in the ionospheric D-region and the F-region, and that the latter is the main part of the sharp TEC increases.
