• Simultaneous global ionospheric disturbances (SGDs) are often observed even during minor solar and geomagnetic disturbances

• SGDs occur predominately on dayside and are related to penetration electric fields (PEFs) of solar wind and geomagnetic disturbance origin

• Global GNSS networks offer a novel and effective technique for continuous PEF monitoring, providing rich datasets for further study
