The IGS VTEC maps: a reliable source of ionospheric information since 1998
Manuel Hernández-Pajares,Jesús Juan,Jaume Sanz,R. Orus,Alberto García-Rigo,J. Feltens,Attila Komjathy,Stefan Schaer,Andrzej Krankowski +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the IGS combined vertical total electron content (VTEC) maps were analyzed and the results confirmed the good performance of the combined VTEC maps, and the characteristic VTEC variability periods.
Journal ArticleDOI
New approaches in global ionospheric determination using ground GPS data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the strategy and algorithms related to such a preliminary product, its calibration with synthetic observations generated from the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI), and the comparison with TOPEX TEC data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances affecting GPS measurements: Spatial and temporal analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a simple technique to estimate the medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) characteristics with periods lower than 20 min and its application to a set of GPS data both temporally and spatially representative.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ionosphere: effects, GPS modeling and the benefits for space geodetic techniques
Manuel Hernández-Pajares,J. Miguel Juan,Jaume Sanz,Angela Aragon-Angel,Alberto García-Rigo,Dagoberto Salazar,Miquel Escudero +6 more
TL;DR: The main goal of this paper is to provide a summary of the 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).
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of global ionospheric VTEC maps by using kriging interpolation technique
TL;DR: In this article, a geostatistic interpolation algorithm, called kriging, has been applied to improve the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) global ionospheric maps (GIMs) computed with GPS data.
