Systematic differences between VTEC obtained by different space-geodetic techniques during CONT08 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The ionosphere is a dispersive medium for microwaves, and most space-geodetic techniques using two or more signal frequencies
can be applied to extract information on ionospheric parameters, including terrestrial as well as satellite-based GNSS, DORIS,
altimetry, and VLBI. Because of their different sensitivity regarding ionization, their different spatial and temporal data
distribution, and their different signal paths, a joint analysis of all observation types seems reasonable and promises the
best results for ionosphere modeling. However, it has turned out that there exist offsets between ionospheric observations
of the diverse techniques mainly caused by calibration uncertainties or model errors. Direct comparisons of the information
from different data types are difficult because of the inhomogeneous measurement epochs and locations. In the approach presented
here, all measurements are combined into one ionosphere model of vertical total electron content (VTEC). A variance component
estimation is applied to take into account the different accuracy levels of the observations. In order to consider systematic
offsets, a constant bias term is allowed for each observation group. The investigations have been performed for the time interval
of the CONT08 campaign (2 weeks in August 2008) in a region around the Hawaiian Islands. Almost all analyzed observation techniques
show good data sensitivity and are suitable for VTEC modeling in case the systematic offsets which can reach up to 5 TECU
are taken into account. Only the Envisat DORIS data cannot provide reliable results. 相似文献

Experimental analysis was performed using multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique (MART) to map the ionosphere over Brazil. Code and phase observations from the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) together with the international reference ionosphere (IRI) enabled the estimation of ionospheric profiles and total electron content (TEC) over the entire region. Twenty-four days of data collected from existing ground-based GNSS receivers during the recent solar maximum period were used to analyze the performance of the MART algorithm. The results were compared with four ionosondes. It was demonstrated that MART estimated the electron density peak with the same degree of accuracy as the IRI model in regions with appropriate geometrical coverage by GNSS receivers for tomographic reconstruction. In addition, the slant TEC, as estimated with MART, presented lower root-mean-square error than the TEC calculated by ionospheric maps available from the International GNSS Service (IGS). Furthermore, the daily variations of the ionosphere were better represented with the algebraic techniques, compared to the IRI model and IGS maps, enabling a correlation of the elevation of the ionosphere at higher altitudes with the equatorial ionization anomaly intensification. The tomographic representations also enabled the detection of high vertical gradients at the same instants in which ionospheric irregularities were evident. 相似文献

Global Ionosphere Maps of VTEC from GNSS,satellite altimetry,and formosat-3/COSMIC data 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
For space geodetic techniques, operating in microwave band, ionosphere is a dispersive medium; thus signals traveling through
this medium are in the first approximation affected proportional to inverse of the square of their frequencies. This effect
allows gaining information about the parameters of the ionosphere in terms of Total Electron Content (TEC) or the electron
density (N
e
). TEC or electron density can then be expressed by means of spherical harmonic base functions to provide a Global Ionosphere
Map (GIM). The classical input data for development of GIMs are obtained from dual-frequency observations carried out at Global
Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) stations. However, GNSS stations are in-homogeneously distributed around the world, with
large gaps particularly over the oceans; this fact reduces the precision of the GIM over these areas. On the other hand, dual-frequency
satellite altimetry missions such as Jason-1 provide information about the ionosphere precisely above the oceans; and furthermore
Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites, such as Formosat-3/COSMIC (F/C) provide well-distributed information of ionosphere globally.
This study investigates on global modeling of TEC through combining GNSS and satellite altimetry data with global TEC data
derived from the occultation measurements of the F/C mission. The combined GIMs of vertical TEC (VTEC) show a maximum difference
of 1.3–1.7 TEC units (TECU) with respect to the GNSS-only GIMs in the whole day. The root mean square error (RMS) maps of
combined solution show a reduction of about 0.1 TECU in the whole day. This decrease of RMS can reach up to 0.5 TECU in areas
where no or few GNSS observations are available, but high number of F/C measurement is carried out. This proves that the combined
GIMs provide a more homogeneous global coverage and higher reliability than results of each single method. All comparisons
and validations made within this study provide vital information regarding combination and integration of various observation
techniques in the Global Geodetic Observing System of the International Association of Geodesy. 相似文献

The Doppler orbitography and radiopositioning integrated by satellite (DORIS) system was originally developed for precise orbit determination of low Earth orbiting (LEO) satellites. Beyond that, it is highly qualified for modeling the distribution of electrons within the Earth’s ionosphere. It measures with two frequencies in L-band with a relative frequency ratio close to 5. Since the terrestrial ground beacons are distributed quite homogeneously and several LEOs are equipped with modern receivers, a good applicability for global vertical total electron content (VTEC) modeling can be expected. This paper investigates the capability of DORIS dual-frequency phase observations for deriving VTEC and the contribution of these data to global VTEC modeling. The DORIS preprocessing is performed similar to commonly used global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) preprocessing. However, the absolute DORIS VTEC level is taken from global ionospheric maps (GIM) provided by the International GNSS Service (IGS) as the DORIS data contain no absolute information. DORIS-derived VTEC values show good consistency with IGS GIMs with a RMS between 2 and 3 total electron content units (TECU) depending on solar activity which can be reduced to less than 2 TECU when using only observations with elevation angles higher than \(50^\circ \) . The combination of DORIS VTEC with data from other space-geodetic measurement techniques improves the accuracy of global VTEC models significantly. If DORIS VTEC data is used to update IGS GIMs, an improvement of up to 12 % can be achieved. The accuracy directly beneath the DORIS satellites’ ground-tracks ranges between 1.5 and 3.5 TECU assuming a precision of 2.5 TECU for altimeter-derived VTEC values which have been used for validation purposes. 相似文献

Vertical total electron content (VTEC) parameters estimated using global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data are of great interest for ionosphere sensing. Satellite differential code biases (SDCBs) account for one source of error which, if left uncorrected, can deteriorate performance of positioning, timing and other applications. The customary approach to estimate VTEC along with SDCBs from dual-frequency GNSS data, hereinafter referred to as DF approach, consists of two sequential steps. The first step seeks to retrieve ionospheric observables through the carrier-to-code leveling technique. This observable, related to the slant total electron content (STEC) along the satellite–receiver line-of-sight, is biased also by the SDCBs and the receiver differential code biases (RDCBs). By means of thin-layer ionospheric model, in the second step one is able to isolate the VTEC, the SDCBs and the RDCBs from the ionospheric observables. In this work, we present a single-frequency (SF) approach, enabling the joint estimation of VTEC and SDCBs using low-cost receivers; this approach is also based on two steps and it differs from the DF approach only in the first step, where we turn to the precise point positioning technique to retrieve from the single-frequency GNSS data the ionospheric observables, interpreted as the combination of the STEC, the SDCBs and the biased receiver clocks at the pivot epoch. Our numerical analyses clarify how SF approach performs when being applied to GPS L1 data collected by a single receiver under both calm and disturbed ionospheric conditions. The daily time series of zenith VTEC estimates has an accuracy ranging from a few tenths of a TEC unit (TECU) to approximately 2 TECU. For 73–96% of GPS satellites in view, the daily estimates of SDCBs do not deviate, in absolute value, more than 1 ns from their ground truth values published by the Centre for Orbit Determination in Europe. 相似文献

The international reference ionosphere today and in the future 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5

The international reference ionosphere (IRI) is the internationally recognized and recommended standard for the specification
of plasma parameters in Earth’s ionosphere. It describes monthly averages of electron density, electron temperature, ion temperature,
ion composition, and several additional parameters in the altitude range from 60 to 1,500 km. A joint working group of the
Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) and the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) is in charge of developing and improving
the IRI model. As requested by COSPAR and URSI, IRI is an empirical model being based on most of the available and reliable
data sources for the ionospheric plasma. The paper describes the latest version of the model and reviews efforts towards future
improvements, including the development of new global models for the F2 peak density and height, and a new approach to describe
the electron density in the topside and plasmasphere. Our emphasis will be on the electron density because it is the IRI parameter
most relevant to geodetic techniques and studies. Annual IRI meetings are the main venue for the discussion of IRI activities,
future improvements, and additions to the model. A new special IRI task force activity is focusing on the development of a
real-time IRI (RT-IRI) by combining data assimilation techniques with the IRI model. A first RT-IRI task force meeting was
held in 2009 in Colorado Springs. We will review the outcome of this meeting and the plans for the future. The IRI homepage

RINEX_HO: second- and third-order ionospheric corrections for RINEX observation files 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
When GNSS receivers capable of collecting dual-frequency data are available, it is possible to eliminate the first-order ionospheric
effect in the data processing through the ionosphere-free linear combination. However, the second- and third-order ionospheric
effects still remain. The first-, second- and third-order ionospheric effects are directly proportional to the total electron
content (TEC), although the second- and third-order effects are influenced, respectively, by the geomagnetic field and the
maximum electron density. In recent years, the international scientific community has given more attention to these kinds
of effects and some works have shown that for high precision GNSS positioning these effects have to be taken into consideration.
We present a software tool called RINEX_HO that was developed to correct GPS observables for second- and third-order ionosphere
effects. RINEX_HO requires as input a RINEX observation file, then computes the second- and third-order ionospheric effects,
and applies the corrections to the original GPS observables, creating a corrected RINEX file. The mathematical models implemented
to compute these effects are presented, as well as the transformations involving the earth’s magnetic field. The use of TEC
from global ionospheric maps and TEC calculated from raw pseudorange measurements or pseudoranges smoothed by phase is also
investigated. 相似文献

Ionospheric delay is a dominant error source in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Single-frequency GNSS applications require ionospheric correction of signal delay caused by the charged particles in the earth’s ionosphere. The Chinese Beidou system is developing its own ionospheric model for single-frequency users. The number of single-frequency GNSS users and applications is expected to grow fast in the next years in China. Thus, developing an appropriate ionospheric model is crucially important for the Chinese Beidou system and worldwide single-frequency Beidou users. We study the performance of five globally accessible ionospheric models Global Ionospheric Map (GIM), International Reference Ionosphere (IRI), Parameterized Ionospheric Model (PIM), Klobuchar and NeQuick in low- and mid-latitude regions of China under mid-solar activity condition. Generally, all ionospheric models can reproduce the trend of diurnal ionosphere variations. It is found that all the models have better performances in mid-latitude than in low-latitude regions. When all the models are compared to the observed total electron content (TEC) data derived from GIM model, the IRI model (2012 version) has the best agreement with GIM model and the NeQuick has the poorest agreement. The RMS errors of the IRI model using the GIM TEC as reference truth are about 3.0–10.0 TECU in low-latitude regions and 3.0–8.0 TECU in mid-latitude regions, as observed during a period of 1 year with medium level of solar activity. When all the ionospheric models are ingested into single-frequency precise point positioning (PPP) to correct the ionospheric delays in GPS observations, the PIM model performs the best in both low and mid-latitudes in China. In mid-latitude, the daily single-frequency PPP accuracy using PIM model is ~10 cm in horizontal and ~20 cm in up direction. At low-latitude regions, the PPP error using PIM model is 10–20 cm in north, 30–40 cm in east and ~60 cm in up component. The single-frequency PPP solutions indicate that NeQuick model has the lowest accuracy among all the models in both low- and mid-latitude regions of China. This study suggests that the PIM model may be considered for single-frequency GNSS users in China to achieve a good positioning accuracy in both low- and mid-latitude regions. 相似文献

Simulation study of the influence of the ionospheric layer height in the thin layer ionospheric model 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
This work aims to contribute to the understanding of the influence of the ionospheric layer height (ILH) on the thin layer
ionospheric model (TLIM) used to retrieve ionospheric information from the GNSS observations. Particular attention is paid
to the errors caused on the estimation of the vertical total electron content (vTEC) and the GNSS satellites and receivers inter-frequency biases (IFB), by the use of an inappropriate ILH. The work relies
upon numerical simulations performed with an empirical model of the Earth’s ionosphere: the model is used to create realistic
but controlled ionospheric scenarios and the errors are evaluated after recovering those scenarios with the TLIM. The error
assessment is performed in the Central and the northern part of the South American continents, a region where large errors
are expected due to the combined actions of the Appleton Anomaly of the ionosphere and the South-Atlantic anomaly of the geomagnetic
field. According to this study, there does not exist a unique ILH that cancels the vTEC error for the whole region under consideration. The ILH that cancels the regional mean vTEC error varies with the solar activity and season. The latitude-dependent conversion error propagates to the parameters of
the model used to represent the latitudinal variation on the vTEC on the ionospheric layer, and to the IFB, when these values are simultaneously estimated from the observed sTEC. Besides, the ILH that cancels the regional mean vTEC error is different from the one that cancels the IFB error and the difference between both ILH varies with the solar activity
and season. 相似文献

The ionosphere: effects,GPS modeling and the benefits for space geodetic techniques 总被引：12，自引：8，他引：4

The main goal of this paper is to provide a summary of our current knowledge of the ionosphere as it relates to space geodetic
techniques, especially the most informative technology, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), specifically the fully
deployed and operational global positioning system (GPS). As such, the main relevant modeling points are discussed, and the
corresponding results of ionospheric monitoring are related, which were mostly computed using GPS data and based on the direct
experience of the authors. We address various phenomena such as horizontal and vertical ionospheric morphology in quiet conditions,
traveling ionospheric disturbances, solar flares, ionospheric storms and scintillation. Finally, we also tackle the question
of how improved knowledge of ionospheric conditions, especially in terms of an accurate understanding of the distribution
of free electrons, can improve space geodetic techniques at different levels, such as higher-order ionospheric effects, precise
GNSS navigation, single-antenna GNSS orientation and real-time GNSS meteorology. 相似文献

Application of SWACI products as ionospheric correction for single-point positioning: a comparative study 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
In Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) using L-band frequencies, the ionosphere causes signal delays that correspond with link related range errors of up to 100 m. In a first order approximation the range error is proportional to the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere. Whereas this first order range error can be corrected in dual-frequency measurements by a linear combination of carrier phase- or code-ranges of both frequencies, single-frequency users need additional information to mitigate the ionospheric error. This information can be provided by TEC maps deduced from corresponding GNSS measurements or by ionospheric models. In this paper we discuss and compare different ionospheric correction methods for single-frequency users. The focus is on the comparison of the positioning quality using dual-frequency measurements, the Klobuchar model, the NeQuick model, the IGS TEC maps, the Neustrelitz TEC Model (NTCM-GL) and the reconstructed NTCM-GL TEC maps both provided via the ionosphere data service SWACI (http://swaciweb.dlr.de) in near real-time. For that purpose, data from different locations covering several days in 2011 and 2012 are investigated, including periods of quiet and disturbed ionospheric conditions. In applying the NTCM-GL based corrections instead of the Klobuchar model, positioning accuracy improvements up to several meters have been found for the European region in dependence on the ionospheric conditions. Further in mid- and low-latitudes the NTCM-GL model provides results comparable to NeQuick during the considered time periods. Moreover, in regions with a dense GNSS ground station network the reconstructed NTCM-GL TEC maps are partly at the same level as the final IGS TEC maps. 相似文献

Potentialities of multifrequency ionospheric correction in Global Navigation Satellite Systems 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The first-order ionospheric error is reduced in the dual-frequency Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). In this paper,
the possibility of eliminating ionospheric higher-order errors in the multifrequency GNSS is explored. Since the second-order
error associated with the geomagnetic field effect on the refractive index can be eliminated in dual-frequency measurements,
we explore the possibility of eliminating third-order errors in triple-frequency GNSS in view of phase scintillations. A connection
between the possibility of improving the multifrequency GNSS accuracy and diffraction effects in radio signal propagation
through the randomly inhomogeneous ionosphere is shown. The numerical simulation has revealed that the systematic, residual
ionospheric error is considerably reduced when we pass on from dual-frequency to triple-frequency measurements. The change
in the residual error variance during such a transition depends however on the relationship between the inner scale of the
turbulent spectrum of ionospheric irregularities and the Fresnel radius. Given the inner scale larger than the Fresnel radius,
not only the systematic error, but also the standard deviation reduces when we pass on from dual-frequency to triple-frequency
measurements. Otherwise, when the Fresnel radius exceeds the inner scale, the variance increases with increasing number of
frequencies in use. 相似文献

In the context of the International GNSS Service (IGS), several IGS Ionosphere Associated Analysis Centers have developed different techniques to provide global ionospheric maps (GIMs) of vertical total electron content (VTEC) since 1998. In this paper we present a comparison of the performances of all the GIMs created in the frame of IGS. Indeed we compare the classical ones (for the ionospheric analysis centers CODE, ESA/ESOC, JPL and UPC) with the new ones (NRCAN, CAS, WHU). To assess the quality of them in fair and completely independent ways, two assessment methods are used: a direct comparison to altimeter data (VTEC-altimeter) and to the difference of slant total electron content (STEC) observed in independent ground reference stations (dSTEC-GPS). The main conclusion of this study, performed during one solar cycle, is the consistency of the results between so many different GIM techniques and implementations. 相似文献

For single-frequency users of the global satellite navigation system (GNSS), one of the main error contributors is the ionospheric delay, which impacts the received signals. As is well-known, GPS and Galileo transmit global models to correct the ionospheric delay, while the international GNSS service (IGS) computes precise post-process global ionospheric maps (GIM) that are considered reference ionospheres. Moreover, accurate ionospheric maps have been recently introduced, which allow for the fast convergence of the real-time precise point position (PPP) globally. Therefore, testing of the ionospheric models is a key issue for code-based single-frequency users, which constitute the main user segment. Therefore, the testing proposed in this paper is straightforward and uses the PPP modeling applied to single- and dual-frequency code observations worldwide for 2014. The usage of PPP modeling allows us to quantify—for dual-frequency users—the degradation of the navigation solutions caused by noise and multipath with respect to the different ionospheric modeling solutions, and allows us, in turn, to obtain an independent assessment of the ionospheric models. Compared to the dual-frequency solutions, the GPS and Galileo ionospheric models present worse global performance, with horizontal root mean square (RMS) differences of 1.04 and 0.49 m and vertical RMS differences of 0.83 and 0.40 m, respectively. While very precise global ionospheric models can improve the dual-frequency solution globally, resulting in a horizontal RMS difference of 0.60 m and a vertical RMS difference of 0.74 m, they exhibit a strong dependence on the geographical location and ionospheric activity. 相似文献
