High-frequency variability of the ionosphere, or irregularities, constitutes the main threat for real-time precise positioning techniques based on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) measurements. Indeed, during periods of enhanced ionospheric variability, GNSS users in the field—who cannot verify the integrity of their measurements—will experience positioning errors that can reach several decimeters, while the nominal accuracy of the technique is cm-level. In the frame of this paper, a climatological analysis of irregularities over the European mid-latitude region is presented. Based on a 10 years GPS dataset over Belgium, the work analyzes the occurrence rate (as a function of the solar cycle, season and local time) as well as the amplitude of ionospheric irregularities observed at a single GPS station. The study covers irregularities either due to space weather events (solar origin) or of terrestrial origin. If space weather irregularities are responsible for the largest effects in terms of ionospheric error, their occurrence rate highly depends on solar activity. Indeed, the occurrence rate of ionospheric irregularities is about 9 % during solar maximum, whereas it drops to about 0 % during medium or low solar activity periods. Medium-scale ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) occurring during daytime in autumn/winter are the most recurrent pattern of the time series, with yearly proportions slightly varying with the solar cycle and an amplitude of about 10 % of the TEC background. Another recurrent irregularity type, though less frequent than MSTIDs, is the noise-like variability in TEC observed during summer nighttime, under quiet geomagnetic conditions. These summer nighttime irregularities exhibit amplitudes ranging between 8 and 15 % of the TEC background. 相似文献

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

GPS observations of the ionospheric F2-layer behavior during the 20th November 2003 geomagnetic storm over South Korea 总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3
The ionospheric F2-layer peak density (NmF2) and its height (hmF2) are of great influence on the shape of the ionospheric
electron density profile Ne (h) and may be indicative of other physical processes within the ionosphere, especially those
due to geomagnetic storms. Such parameters are often estimated using models such as the semiempirical international reference
ionosphere (IRI) models or are measured using moderately priced to expensive instrumentation, such as ionosondes or incoherent
scatter radars. Global positioning system (GPS) observations have become a powerful tool for mapping high-resolution ionospheric
structures, which can be used to study the ionospheric response to geomagnetic storms. In this paper, we describe how 3-D
ionospheric electron density profiles were produced from data of the dense permanent Korean GPS network using the tomography
reconstruction technique. These profiles are verified by independent ionosonde data. The responses of GPS-derived parameters
at the ionospheric F2-layer to the 20th November 2003 geomagnetic storm over South Korea are investigated. A fairly large
increase in the electron density at the F2-layer peak (the NmF2) (positive storm) has been observed during this storm, which
is accompanied by a significant uplift in the height of the F2 layer peak (the hmF2). This is confirmed by independent ionosonde
observations. We suggest that the F2-layer peak height uplift and NmF2 increase are mainly associated with a strong eastward
electric field, and are not associated with the increase of the O/N2 ratio obtained from the GUVI instruments aboard the TIMED satellite. It is also inferred that the increase in NmF2 is not
caused by the changes in neutral composition, but is related to other nonchemical effects, such as dynamical changes of vertical
ion motions induced by winds and E × B drifts, tides and waves in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere region, which can be dynamically
coupled upward to generate ionospheric perturbations and oscillations. 相似文献

Differential ionospheric slant delays are obtained from a quiet-time, three-dimensional ionospheric electron density model, called the TaiWan Ionosphere Model (TWIM), to be used in code-based differential GPS positioning. The code observations are acquired from nine continuously operating GPS stations around Taiwan whose baseline ranged from 19 to 340 km. Daily 24-hour epoch-per-epoch positioning obtained for 70 most geomagnetic quiet days (2008–2010) for each of the 72 baselines. The performance of TWIM has been compared with the standard operational Klobuchar model (KLB) used by typical single-frequency receivers and the IGS global ionospheric model (GIM). Generally, TWIM performed well in reducing the differential ionospheric delay especially for long baselines and different levels of low solar activity. It has a much better performance compared to the operational KLB model. TWIM also performed similarly with GIM, though GIM has the best performance overall. GIM has the best ionospheric gradient estimates among the three models whose differential ionospheric delay-to-horizontal error ratio is more than 0.25. This is followed closely by TWIM with about 0.20. KLB only has a ratio of <0.10. The similarity of the performance of TWIM and GIM demonstrates the feasibility of TWIM in correcting for differential ionospheric delays in the C/A code pseudorange that is caused by electron density gradients in the ionosphere. It can provide decimeter-to-centimeter level accuracy in differential GPS positioning for single-frequency receivers during geomagnetic quiet conditions across all seasons and different levels of low solar activities. 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

The Co-Seismic Ionospheric Disturbance of the 2015 Nepal earthquake is analyzed in this paper. GNSS data are used to obtain the Satellite-Station TEC sequences. After removing the de-trended TEC variation, a clear ionospheric disturbance was observed 10 min after the earthquake, while the geomagnetic conditions, solar activity, and weather condition remained calm according to the Kp, Dst, F10.7 indices and meteorological records during the period of interest. Computerized ionosphere tomography (CIT) is then used to present the tridimensional ionosphere variation with a 10-min time resolution. The CIT results indicate that (1) the disturbance of the ionospheric electron density above the epicenter during the 2015 Nepal earthquake is confined at a relatively low altitude (approximately 150–300 km); (2) the ionospheric disturbances on the west side and east sides of the epicenter are precisely opposite. A newly established electric field penetration model of the lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling is used to investigate the potential physical mechanism. 相似文献

With the increasing number of precise navigation and positioning applications using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), higher order ionospheric effects and their correction become more and more important.
Whereas the first-order error can be completely eliminated by a linear combination of dual- frequency measurements, the second-
and third-order residual effects remain uncorrected in this approach. To quantify the second-order residual effect, a simple
formula has been derived for GNSS users in Germany. Our proposed correction algorithm reduces the second-order effects to
a residual error of fractions of 1 mm up to 2 mm at a vertical total electron content level of 1018 electrons/m2 (100 TECU), depending on satellite azimuth and elevation angles. The correction formula can be implemented in real-time applications
as it does not require the knowledge of the geomagnetic field or the electron density distribution in the ionosphere along
the signal path. It is expected that the correction will enable more accurate positioning using the line-of-sight carrier-phase
measurements. 相似文献

Impact of the Halloween 2003 ionospheric storm on kinematic GPS positioning in Europe 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Using dual-frequency data from 36 GPS stations from the EUREF Permanent Network (EPN), the influence of the October 30, 2003
Halloween geomagnetic storm on kinematic GPS positioning is investigated. The Halloween storm induced ionospheric disturbances
above the northern part of Europe and Scandinavia. It is shown that kinematic position repeatabilities for this period are
mainly affected for stations in northern Europe with outliers reaching 12 cm in the horizontal, and 26 cm in the vertical.
These magnitudes are shown to be possibly due to the second-order ionospheric delays on GPS signals, not accounted for in
the kinematic GPS positioning analysis performed. In parallel, we generate hourly TEC (Total Electron Content) maps on a 1° × 1°
grid using the dense EPN network. These TEC maps do not use any interpolation but provide a high resolution in the time and
space and therefore allow to better evidence small structures in the ionosphere than the classical 2-hourly 2.5° × 5° grid
Global Ionospheric TEC Maps (GIM). Using the hourly 1° × 1° TEC maps, we reconstruct and refine exactly the zones of intense
ionosphere activity during the storm, and we show the correlation between the ionospheric activity and assess the quality
of GPS-based kinematic positioning performed in the European region. 相似文献

The ionosphere can be modeled and studied using multi-frequency GNSS signals and their geometry-free linear combination. Therefore, a number of GNSS-derived ionospheric models have been developed and applied in a broad range of applications. However, due to the complexity of estimating the carrier phase ambiguities, most of these models are based on low-accuracy carrier phase smoothed pseudorange data. This, in turn, critically limits their accuracy and applicability. Therefore, we present a new methodology of estimating the phase bias of the scaled L1 and L2 carrier phase difference which is a function of the ambiguities, the ionospheric delay, and hardware delays. This methodology is suitable for ionospheric modeling at regional and continental scales. In addition, we present its evaluation under varying ionospheric conditions. The test results show that the carrier phase bias of geometry-free linear combination can be estimated with a very high accuracy, which consequently allows for calculating ionospheric TEC with the uncertainty lower than 1.0 TECU. This high accuracy makes the resulting ionosphere model suitable for improving GNSS positioning for high-precision applications in geosciences. 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

As GPS is modernizing, there are currently fourteen satellites transmitting L2C civil code and seven satellites transmitting L5 signal. While the GPS observables are subject to several sources of errors, the ionosphere is one of the largest error sources affecting GPS signals. Small irregularities in the electrons density along the GPS radio signal propagation path cause ionospheric scintillation that is characterized by rapid fluctuations in the signal amplitude and phase. The ionospheric scintillation effects are stronger in equatorial and high-latitude geomagnetic latitude regions and occur mainly due to equatorial anomaly and solar storms. Several researchers have analyzed the L2C signal quality since becoming available in December, 2005. We analyze the performance of L2C using GPS data from stations in the equatorial region of Brazil, which is subject of weak, moderate and strong ionospheric scintillation conditions. The GPS data were collected by Septentrio PolaRxS–PRO receivers as part of the CIGALA/CALIBRA network. The analysis was performed as a function of scintillations indexes S4 and Phi60, lock time (time interval in seconds that the carrier phase is tracked continuously without cycle slips), multipath RMS and position variation of precise point positioning solutions. The analysis shows that L2C code solutions are less affected by multipath effects than that of P2 when data are collected under weak ionospheric scintillation effects. In terms of analysis of positions, the kinematic PPP results using L2C instead P2 codes show accuracy improvements up to 33 % in periods of weak or strong ionospheric scintillation. When combining phase and code collected under weak scintillation effects, the results by applying L2C against P2 provide improvement in accuracy up to 59 %. However, for data under strong scintillation effects, the use of L2C for PPP with code and phase does not provide improvements in the positioning accuracy. 相似文献

电离层延迟是全球卫星导航系统(GNSS)高精度导航定位应用中的重要误差源. 通过对电离层总电子含量(TEC)进行测量和短期预报可有效提升GNSS单频用户的定位精度,对其他无线电系统的电离层效应也可起到有效减缓作用. 近二十年来提出了很多行之有效的短期预报方法,但还没有哪一种方法有绝对优势,其预测精度都有待提高. 利用Madrigal数据库任意选取的5个格网点的TEC观测数据,首先比较了自相关和自回归滑动平均(ARIMA)方法,然后研究了自相关预报方法中实际参与加权的观测值覆盖天数和观测值数量这两个参数的选取对预报误差的影响,并提出了参数设置优化方案. 试验结果显示:1)自相关方法的预报误差略小于ARIMA方法,且自相关方法所花费时间比ARIMA方法少,总体上自相关方法是一种性能更优的方法;2)对于自相关方法,相比于传统的“4+12”参数设置方案,“3+9”方案总体上具有更优的预报性能,说明TEC时间序列的当前状态可能主要与前3天的状态有关. 相关结果可作为电离层短期预报工程实现的一个有用的参考方案. 相似文献

Due to the maximum of the solar cycle, ionospheric activity increased considerably last year. At frequent times warning were
sent out announcing geomagnetic storms disturbing the ionospheric electron content. In this article the influence of such
geomagnetic storms on fast and precise GPS positioning (for surveying applications at midlatitude regions) is studied. And
here with “fast” it is aimed at the shortest observation time possible: carrier ambiguity resolution and position estimation
using only one single epoch of data. To apply this instantaneous data processing technique successfully to GPS baselines of
medium length (up to 50 km), additional ionospheric information is inevitable, not only under geomagnetic storm but also under
more quiet conditions. However, in this article it will be shown that under geomagnetic storm conditions, even for rather
short baselines (<10 km), for which the ionospheric delays under more quiet conditions could be neglected, one has to account
for significant relative ionospheric delays. Therefore an important facet of this contribution is the investigation of how
to process baselines of varying length in a more uniform way, making use of a permanent GPS network (if available in the surveying
area) and a stochastic modeling technique of the ionospheric delays. ? 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献
