Abstract. Ionospheric total electron content (TEC) of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) is studied by analyzing dual-frequency signals of the Global Position System (GPS) acquired from a network of receivers around the Asian-Australian region during 1996–2004. The latitude, occurrence time, strength of the most developed EIA crest, and crest-to-trough ratio (CTR) for both the noon and post-sunset sector obtained from a daily TEC contour map have been used to study the solar cycle variations of EIA in the Asian-Australian region. The results reveal that semiannual and seasonal variations were the dominant factor that controls the morphology of the EIA structure which can be identified in the past studies (e.g. Wu et al., 2008). It is also found that the latitude and local time position of the anomaly crest show a hemispheric asymmetry because (a) The northern crest of EIA is expanded during the equinox indicating a weak semiannual variation while the southern crest is inhibited during June–August presenting a strong seasonal variation, and (b) The local time of the northern crest appears ~1.3 h earlier than that of the southern crest in June while showing no difference at December. Solar activity dependence is more evident in the EIA crest region than in the EIA trough region and least in the post-sunset sector at equinox. A seasonal linear relationship is derived between the post-sunset CTR and solar flux, which should be caused by the solar-dependant equatorial E×B vertical drift.
