Enhanced Use of GPS and Airglow Data for Fusion into an Ionospheric Specification and Radio Propagation Model.

摘要

Our long-term goal is to develop a processor for assimilation of GPS, UV airglow, and other data types for the purpose of near-real-time Internet dissemination of regional and, eventually, global ionospheric specification. Of particular interest are the electron density vs. height profiles (EDPs), determined with sufficient precision to meet ionospheric compensation requirements for future high-performance radio systems.
