Ionospheric Faraday Rotation Measure (RM)

Submitter: Michiel Brentjens
Description: The ionospheric Faraday rotation was tracked during a 12 h Westerbork observation at 92 cm using both global GPS total electron content (TEC) data and an in-beam polarized
source with 12 mJy polarized flux. Note the discrepancy between GPS-TEC based RMs and the observed RMs after sunrise.
