However, it is an ill-posed problem owing to an insufficient amount of available data, because of which the distributions of ionospheric electron density (IED) cannot be reconstructed accurately. In light of this, the ordered subsets-constrained algebraic reconstruction technique (OS_CART) is developed here using vertical total electron content (VTEC) data to solve this problem, where the VTEC derived from the slant total electron content (STEC) of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal paths is used to compensate for the lack of data provided by GNSS observations in inversion regions, and the OS_CART is also used to improve the spatial resolution and inversion efficiency. The proposed method was validated by conducting numerical experiments using GNSS and independent ionosonde data in both quiescent and disturbed ionospheric conditions. In contrast to classical methods of ionospheric tomography, the proposed method exhibited significantly higher reconstruction accuracy. While delivering a comparable accuracy to that of traditional methods in terms of self-consistency validation using STEC data and without overfitting, the proposed method yielded a more than 90% improvement over the self-consistency validation using VTEC data. In addition, a better daily description of the ionosphere was obtained using the proposed method, where an increase in the peak height and irregular changes to the IED, associated with variations in the number of epochs and the occurrence of magnetic storms, were observed. Overall, the results reveal that the proposed method is a useful tool for research on space weather.

Aiming at the high-precision construction of sound speed field in the complex marine environment, this paper proposes a sound speed field model based on back propagation neural network (BPNN) by considering the correlation of learning samples. The method firstly uses measured ocean parameters to construct the temperature and salinity field. Then the spatial position, the temperature and the salinity information are used to construct the global ocean sound speed field based on the back propagation neural network algorithm. During the processing, the learning samples of back propagation neural network are selected based on the correlation between sound speed and distance. The proposed algorithm is validated by the global Argo data as well as compared with the spatial interpolation and the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) algorithm. The results demonstrate that the average root mean squares of the BPNN considering the correlation of learning samples is 0.352 m/s compared to the 1.527 m/s of EOF construction and the 2.661 m/s of spatial interpolation, with an improvement of 76.9% and 86.8%. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can improve the construction accuracy of sound speed field in the complex marine environment.

Revisit the calibration errors on experimental slant total electron content (TEC) determined with GPS / Wenfeng Nie in GPS solutions, vol 22 n° 3 (July 2018)

Instead of the analysis of the calibration errors on the carrier phase leveled to code ionospheric observable, we focus on the accuracy analysis of the undifferenced ambiguity-fixed carrier phase ionospheric observable determined from a global distribution of permanent receivers. The results achieved are: (1) using data from an entire month within the last solar cycle maximum, the undifferenced ambiguity-fixed carrier phase ionospheric observable is found to be over one order of magnitude more accurate than the carrier phase leveled to code ionospheric observable and the raw code ionospheric observable. The observation error of the undifferenced ambiguity-fixed carrier phase ionospheric observable ranges from 0.05 to 0.11 total electron content unit (TECU) while that of the carrier phase leveled to code and the raw code ionospheric observable is from 0.65 to 1.65 and 3.14 to 7.48 TECU, respectively. (2) The time-varying receiver differential code bias (DCB), which presents clear day boundary discontinuity and intra-day variability pattern, contributes the most part of the observation error. This contribution is assessed by the short-term stability of the between-receiver DCB, which ranges from 0.06 to 0.17 TECU in a single day. (3) The remaining part of the observation errors presents a sidereal time cycle pattern, indicating the effects of the multipath. Further, the magnitude of the remaining part implies that the code multipath effects are much reduced. (4) The intra-day variation of the between-receiver DCB of the collocated stations suggests that estimating DCBs as a daily constant can have a mis-modeling error of at least several tenths of 1 TECU.
