Topside ionospheric vertical electron density profile reconstruction using GPS and ionosonde data: possibilities for South Africa
Successful empirical modeling of the topside ionosphere relies on the availability of good quality measured data. The Alouette, ISIS and Intercosmos-19 satellite missions provided large amounts of topside sounder data, but with limited coverage of relevant geophysical conditions (e.g., geographic location, diurnal, seasonal and solar activity) by each individual mission. Recently, methods for i...
متن کاملTotal Ionospheric Electron Content Calibration Using SERIES GPS Satellite Data
This article describes the current status of the Deep Space Network advanced systems research into ionospheric calibration techniques, based on Global Positioning System (GPS) data. A GPS-based calibration system is planned to replace the currently used Faraday rotation method by 1989. The SERIES receiver system used in this research determines the differential group delay of signals transmitte...
متن کاملTomographic Reconstruction of the Ionospheric Electron Density in term of Wavelets
Ionospheric tomography is a method to investigate the ionospheric electron density in two or three dimensions. In this study, the function-based tomographic technique has been used for regional reconstruction of a 3D tomographic model of the ionospheric electron density using the GPS measurements of the Iranian Permanent GPS Network. Two-dimensional Haar wavelets and empirical orthogonal functi...
متن کاملAnalysis of ionospheric electron density distribution from GPS/MET occultations
In this paper we present results from analysis of GPS/MET occultation data obtained from the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research database. We have used High-Rate occultation data to study the performance of an earlier 4D ionospheric electron content model|obtained tomographically with the use of the GPS constellation|with satisfactory results. In addition, we have processed UCAR Lev...
متن کاملVariation of ionospheric slab thickness over South Africa
Ionospheric slab thickness is defined as the ratio of TEC to maximum electron density of the F-region (NmF2), proportional to the square of the F2-layer critical frequency (foF2). It is an important parameter in that it is linearly correlated with scale height of the ionosphere, which is related to electron density profile. It also reflects variation of the neutral temperature. Therefore, ionos...
