Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method, system, and apparatus provide the ability to estimate ionospheric observables using space-borne observations. Space-borne global positioning system (GPS) data of ionospheric delay are obtained from a satellite. The space-borne GPS data are combined with ground-based GPS observations. The combination is utilized in a model to estimate a global three-dimensional (3D) electron density field.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for estimating ionospheric observables using space-borne observations, comprising: obtaining space-borne global positioning system (GPS) data of ionospheric delay from a space-borne satellite receiver; obtaining ground-based GPS observations; combining the space-borne GPS data with the ground-based GPS observations; and utilizing the combination in a model to estimate a global three-dimensional (3D) electron density field.…
