An Approach to Ionospheric Calibration
نویسنده
چکیده
I am a low frequency radio astronomer, not an ionospheric physicist. Therefore, I struggle with the ionosphere and know about it only in the sense of “know thy enemy”. Much of what I say in this note is probably naive from the standpoint of ionospheric physics. Nevertheless, I hope that some of my suggestions may prove to be useful.

4D Imaging of the Ionosphere using GPS data and an Application to Ionospheric Calibration of Radar Altimeters
We show how it is possible to combine GPS/MET oc-cultation data with ground data collected from 100+ IGS stations to perform stochastic tomography of the ionospheric electron content with a 3D global grid of voxels extending up to 2000 km above the mean surface of the Earth, and thus produce temporal series of 3D images of the ionospheric electron content. A correlation functional approach that...
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 کاملIncorporating WAAS Data Into an Ionospheric Model for Correcting Satellite Radar Observations
The GPS Real-Time Ionospheric Monitoring System (GRIMS) has been operational at the Millstone Hill radar in Massachusetts since 1991 and at the FPS-85 radar in Florida since 1994. GRIMS employs GPS derived estimates of the total electron content (TEC) to provide real-time ionospheric corrections to radar measurements, incorporating data from a single receiver to generate TEC estimates for the e...
متن کاملGIST: A tool for Global Ionospheric Tomography using GPS ground and LEO data and sources of opportunity with applications in instrument calibration
Ionospheric tomography using GPS data has been reported in the literature and even the application to radar altimeter calibration was succesfully carried out in a recent work ( [1]). We here present a new software tool, called Global Ionospheric Stochastic Tomography software (GIST), and its powerful capability for ingesting GPS data from different sources (ground stations, receivers on board L...
متن کاملIonospheric Calibration of Low Frequency Radio Interferometric Observations using the Peeling Scheme
Calibration of radio interferometric observations becomes increasingly difficult towards lower frequencies. Below ∼ 300 MHz, spatially variant refractions and propagation delays of radio waves traveling through the ionosphere cause phase rotations that can vary significantly with time, viewing direction and antenna location. In this article we present a description and first results of SPAM (So...
