Short summary
A large explosion released a significant amount of energy into the Earth's upper atmosphere in Beirut on 4 Aug 2020, generating traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs). These TIDs were observed in previous work using GPS total electron content measurements around Beirut. Here, we used measurements from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program and ionosondes in the Mediterranean to show that the TIDs from the Beirut explosion were able to reach greater distances than previously reported.
