High resolution TEC monitoring method using permanent ground GPS receivers
TLDR
In this article, a method for obtaining the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) variations from GPS permanent station data, in a very precise manner and with high temporal and spatial resolution, is proposed.Abstract:
In this paper we propose a new and simple method for obtaining the ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) variations from GPS permanent station data, in a very precise manner and with high temporal and spatial resolution.
The key idea is to use of the resonant period of 1 sidereal day between the Earth's rotation and the GPS satellite orbit periods, in order to obtain one TEC variation estimate directly from each ionospheric observation.
This new strategy can be applied on both global and local scales, for instance to one single station. Its capabilities are shown in the application performed with the data gathered on 17, 18 and 19 October 1995 from 95 GPS permanent stations and 9 and 10 January 1997 (180 stations), coinciding with two major geomagnetic storms.read more

Imaging the ionosphere with the global positioning system
TL;DR: Tomographic imaging of the ionosphere from space and ground is examined using singular value decomposition analysis, and simulations indicate that space data are significantly more effective than ground data in resolving both horizontal and vertical structures, such as the E layer.
