However, this technique usually suffers from the ill-posed problem caused by the poor geometry of GNSS rays, resulting in underdetermined tomographic equations. Such equations often rely on iterative methods for solving, but conventional iterative approaches require accurate initial WV density. To address this demand, we proposed two models for WV density estimation. One is the conventional model (CO model) that consists of an exponential model and a linear least-squares model, which are used to describe the spatial and temporal variability of the WV density, respectively. The other is a neural network model (NN model) that uses a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) to fit the nonlinear variation of WV density in both spatial and temporal domains. WV density derived from a Hong Kong (HK) radiosonde station (RS) during 2020 was used to validate the proposed models. Validation results show that both models well describe the spatial and temporal distribution of the WV density. The NN model exhibits better prediction performance than the CO model in terms of root mean square error (RMSE) and bias. We also applied the proposed models to GNSS WV tomography to test their performance in extreme weather conditions. Test results show that the proposed model-based GNSS tomography can correct the content of WV density but cannot accurately sense its irregular distribution.

Ordered subsets-constrained ART algorithm for ionospheric tomography by combining VTEC data / Dunyong Zheng in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 59 n° 8 (August 2021)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 59 n° 8 (August 2021) . - pp 7051 - 7061 Titre : Ordered subsets-constrained ART algorithm for ionospheric tomography by combining VTEC data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Dunyong Zheng, Auteur ; Yibin Yao, Auteur ; Wenfeng Nie, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 7051 - 7061 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] données GNSS [Termes IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes IGN] teneur totale en électrons [Termes IGN] teneur verticale totale en électrons [Termes IGN] tomographie par GPS Résumé : (auteur) Computerized ionospheric tomography is an important technique for ionosphere investigation. 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.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of seismo-traveling ionospheric disturbances after March 11, 2011, Japan Tohoku earthquake / Changzhi Zhai in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 7 (July 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 7 (July 2021) . - n° 77 Titre : Three-dimensional reconstruction of seismo-traveling ionospheric disturbances after March 11, 2011, Japan Tohoku earthquake Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Changzhi Zhai, Auteur ; Yibin Yao, Auteur ; Jian Kong, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 77 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] diffusion de Rayleigh [Termes IGN] GeoNet [Termes IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes IGN] onde acoustique [Termes IGN] perturbation ionosphérique [Termes IGN] reconstruction 3D [Termes IGN] séisme [Termes IGN] signal GPS [Termes IGN] teneur totale en électrons [Termes IGN] Tohoku (Japon) [Termes IGN] tomographie Résumé : (auteur) The electron density structures of the seismo-traveling ionospheric disturbances (STIDs) during the Tohoku earthquake are reconstructed by applying the three-dimensional computerized ionospheric tomography (3DCIT) technique with a 30-s time resolution for the first time. The vertical distribution of 3DCIT results is consistent with the constellation observing system for meteorology, ionosphere and climate (COSMIC) observations. The horizontal speeds of STIDs at different altitudes are estimated, and the three types of STIDs related to Rayleigh waves, acoustic waves and gravity waves are identified by their propagation characters. The magnitude of STIDs related to Rayleigh waves decreased with altitude, and there was no significant difference between the speeds (~ 2500 m/s) at different altitudes. The STIDs caused by acoustic waves traveled faster at 300 km altitude (~ 666–724 m/s) than at 150 km altitude (~ 500–550 m/s). From 150 to 250 km altitudes, in the STIDs induced by gravity waves, the magnitude of positive and negative wave fronts showed the opposite trend. The speed at 300 km altitude (~ 332 m/s) was slightly larger than at 150 km altitude (~ 310 m/s). The Rayleigh waves related STIDs showed a conic-like geometry, whereas the acoustic waves and gravity waves induced STIDs showed inverted conic-like geometries. The possible propagation mechanisms of different types of STIDs are also discussed.

GNSS-based statistical analysis of ionospheric anomalies during typhoon landings in Taiwan/Japan / Hai Peng in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 59 n° 6 (June 2021)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 59 n° 6 (June 2021) . - pp 5272 - 5279 Titre : GNSS-based statistical analysis of ionospheric anomalies during typhoon landings in Taiwan/Japan Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Hai Peng, Auteur ; Yibin Yao, Auteur ; Jian Kong, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 5272 - 5279 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] cyclone [Termes IGN] données GNSS [Termes IGN] onde de gravité [Termes IGN] perturbation ionosphérique [Termes IGN] phase [Termes IGN] propagation ionosphérique [Termes IGN] signal GNSS [Termes IGN] Taïwan [Termes IGN] teneur totale en électrons [Termes IGN] vitesse Résumé : (auteur) Using the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) differenced total electron content (dTEC) series, the traveling ionosphere disturbances (TIDs) of 22 typhoons registered in Taiwan/Japan between 2013 and 2016 were studied. The horizontal speed of the first TID during a typhoon landing can be estimated by a two-station method with the ionosphere anomaly indicator in total electron count units (TECUs) (|dTEC| ≥ 0.15 TECU). The horizontal speed of the TIDs was from 155 to 210 m/s and with an average speed of 168.70 m/s. The estimated TID speeds of Typhoons Soudelor (205.93 m/s) and Megi (158.47 m/s) are not consistent with each other, even though they had very similar trajectories when cross through Taiwan Island. Moreover, the propagation velocity of the typhoon ionospheric anomaly showed a significant positive correlation ( r=0.78 , α=0.05 ) with the change rate of the typhoon central air pressure and a negative correlation ( r=−0.52 , α=0.05 ) with the central pressure before landing. Gravity waves were generated by land friction, terrain blocking, and strong wind shear transport energy into the atmosphere from the near surface to the mesosphere and thermosphere, which is the main cause of ionosphere disturbances during typhoon landing.
