Abstract
Random component of the total electron content (TEC) maps, produced by global navigation satellite system processing centres, was analysed. Helmert transform (HT) and two-dimension singular spectrum analysis (2dSSA) were used. Optimal parameters (in the sense calculation speed versus quality) of the 2dSSA windows were determined along with precision estimations.
