N1 - Funding Information:
Acknowledgements. The TechTIDE project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 776011. AB acknowledges financial support provided by the AFRL grant award FA9550-19-1-7019. IT and KT acknowledge support of this work by the project “PROTEAS II” (MIS 5002515), which is implemented under the Action “Reinforcement of the Research and Innovation Infrastructure”, funded by the Operational Programme “Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation” (NSRF 2014–2020) and co-financed by Greece and the European Union (European Regional Development Fund). The IL and IU indicators are retrieved from the IMAGE web site of FMI. JW owes special thanks to Zama Katamzi-Joseph, South African Space Agency SANSA, for processing a substantial amount of GNSS data and producing DTEC maps to support the LSTID analysis which led to Table 2. The editor thanks Paulo Fagundes and an anonymous reviewer for their assistance in evaluating this paper.

N2 - The main objective of the TechTIDE project (warning and mitigation technologies for travelling ionospheric disturbances effects) is the development of an identification and tracking system for travelling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) which will issue warnings of electron density perturbations over large world regions. The TechTIDE project has put in operation a real-time warning system that provides the results of complementary TID detection methodologies and many potential drivers to help users assess the risks and develop mitigation techniques tailored to their applications. The TechTIDE methodologies are able to detect in real time activity caused by both large-scale and medium-scale TIDs and characterize background conditions and external drivers, as an additional information required by the users to assess the criticality of the ongoing disturbances in real time. TechTIDE methodologies are based on the exploitation of data collected in real time from Digisondes, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers and Continuous Doppler Sounding System (CDSS) networks. The results are obtained and provided to users in real time. The paper presents the achievements of the project and discusses the challenges faced in the development of the final TechTIDE warning system.
