Most of the existing MFs are only related to satellite elevation angle, the accuracy is low, and it is necessary to establish a MF with higher accuracy. Therefore, this paper considers the differences of MF for different local time (LT) and DOY (day of year), and uses the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) STEC observation data from International GNSS Service (IGS) tracking stations in the northern hemisphere mid-latitude region in 2016–2020 to establish a novel MF model. First, we retrieve the mapping coefficient αh for different LT and DOY, where the results show significant correlation with LT and DOY, and other periodic variations. Then, we use the empirical orthogonal functions (EOF) to decompose the time series, and the first four order EOF components can describe 98.31% of the total variability. Finally, the periodic function is used to fit the time series of EOF, and a small number of model coefficients are obtained. This work employs the differential STEC of 28 IGS tracking stations in the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere in 2020 to verify the accuracy of the new MF and compare it with the widely used modified single-layer model (MSLM) MF. The results show that the accuracy of the new MF is higher than the existing MSLM MF when using JPLG (Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s final Global Ionospheric Maps) to convert VTEC to STEC. Compared with MSLM MF, the RMS of the new MF is reduced by 0.24 TECU on average, and the maximum reduction is close to 0.4 TECU (~ 25%). Among the 28 tracking stations that participated in the verification, the new MF is better than MSLM MF on most days, with 7 stations reaching 100% and 20 stations exceeding 95%. For nearly 60% of the days in 2020, the accuracy of the new MF for all tracking stations is better than that of MSLM MF.

Improving the (re-)convergence of multi-GNSS real-time precise point positioning through regional between-satellite single-differenced ionospheric augmentation / Ahao Wang in GPS solutions, vol 26 n° 2 (April 2022)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 26 n° 2 (April 2022) . - n° 39 Titre : Improving the (re-)convergence of multi-GNSS real-time precise point positioning through regional between-satellite single-differenced ionospheric augmentation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ahao Wang, Auteur ; Yize Zhang, Auteur ; Junping Chen, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 39 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] correction ionosphérique [Termes IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] temps de convergence [Termes IGN] temps réel [Termes IGN] teneur verticale totale en électrons [Termes IGN] transformation polynomiale Résumé : (auteur) The long (re-)convergence time seriously limits many applications of real-time precise point positioning (RTPPP) in challenging environments like urban vehicle navigation and hazards monitoring. Thus, we proposed a real-time fast-positioning model by introducing the regional between-satellite single-differenced (SD) ionospheric constraints into the undifferenced and uncombined PPP (UU-PPP). The line-of-sight ionospheric observables are extracted by the multi-GNSS (GPS + Galileo) UU-PPP method. The polynomial function with simple structure and high efficiency is applied to establish the real-time regional between-satellite SD ionospheric vertical total electron content (VTEC) model. The differential slant total electron content (dSTEC) variations retrieved from three VTEC models are validated with the between-satellite SD and epoch-differenced geometry-free combinations of dual-frequency phase observations. The average RMS values are 0.77, 0.78 and 0.47 TEC unit for the CLK93 real-time VTEC, CODE final GIM and regional between-satellite SD ionospheric VTEC model, respectively. In the positioning domain, the data of ten stations for 12 consecutive days in 2020 were used for implementing kinematic RTPPP with single-frequency (SF) and dual-frequency (DF) observations. Compared with the GPS + Galileo SF-RTPPP based on the GRoup And PHase Ionospheric Correction model, the initialization time of the SD ionospheric-constrained (SDIC) SF-RTPPP when converged to 0.2 m at the 68% confidence level can be improved from 58 to 32 min in horizontal and 72 to 49 min in vertical, and its positioning accuracy can be improved by 29.7 and 20.3% in the horizontal and vertical components, respectively. Meanwhile, the re-convergence errors of SDIC SF-RTPPP from the first epoch can be maintained at 0.15 m in three components. As to GPS + Galileo SDIC DF-RTPPP, the re-convergence time when converged to 0.1 m can be lower than 3 min in horizontal and 9 min in vertical, and the re-convergence errors at the first epoch could even be lower than 0.15 m in horizontal. Hence, the new positioning model can maintain high accuracy and improve the continuity of real-time kinematic positioning in a short time when the number of tracked satellites in the urban or canyon environment was greatly dropped due to signal blocking.

Validating the impact of various ionosphere correction on mid to long baselines and point positioning using GPS dual-frequency receivers / Alaa A. Elghazouly in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 16 n° 2 (April 2022)

Therefore, different agencies started to generate daily Global Ionosphere Maps (GIMs); the Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) values represented in GIMs produced by several providers can be used to remove the ionosphere error from observations. In this research, an analysis will be carried with three sources for VTEC maps produced by the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE), Regional TEC Mapping (RTM), and the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI). The evaluation is focused on the effects of a specific ionosphere GIM correction on the precise point positioning (PPP) solutions. Two networks were considered. The first network consists of seven Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers from (IGS) global stations. The selected test days are six days, three of them quiet, and three other days are stormy to check the influence of geomagnetic storms on relative kinematic positioning solutions. The second network is a regional network in Egypt. The results show that the calculated coordinates using the three VTEC map sources are far from each other on stormy days rather than on quiet days. Also, the standard deviation values are large on stormy days compared to those on quiet days. Using CODE and RTM IONEX file produces the most precise coordinates after that the values of IRI. The elimination of ionospheric biases over the estimated lengths of many baselines up to 1000 km has resulted in positive findings, which show the feasibility of the suggested assessment procedure.

Ionospheric corrections tailored to the Galileo High Accuracy Service / Adria Rovira-Garcia in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 12 (December 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 12 (December 2021) . - n° 130 Titre : Ionospheric corrections tailored to the Galileo High Accuracy Service Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Adria Rovira-Garcia, Auteur ; C.C.

The Galileo HAS will start providing satellite orbit and clock corrections (i.e. non-dispersive effects) and soon it will also correct dispersive effects such as inter-frequency biases and, in its full capability, ionospheric delay. We analyse here an ionospheric correction system based on the fast precise point positioning (Fast-PPP) and its potential application to the Galileo HAS. The aim of this contribution is to present some recent upgrades to the Fast-PPP model, with the emphasis on the model geometry and the data used. The results show the benefits of integer ambiguity resolution to obtain unambiguous carrier phase measurements as input to compute the Fast-PPP model. Seven permanent stations are used to assess the errors of the Fast-PPP ionospheric corrections, with baseline distances ranging from 100 to 1000 km from the reference receivers used to compute the Fast-PPP corrections. The 99% of the GPS and Galileo errors in well-sounded areas and in mid-latitude stations are below one total electron content unit. In addition, large errors are bounded by the error prediction of the Fast-PPP model, in the form of the variance of the estimation of the ionospheric corrections. Therefore, we conclude that Fast-PPP is able to provide ionospheric corrections with the required ionospheric accuracy, and realistic confidence bounds, for the Galileo HAS.

Ionospheric tomographic common clock model of undifferenced uncombined GNSS measurements / German Olivares-Pulido in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 11 (November 2021)

It is intended for improving the Wide Area precise positioning in a consistent and simple way in the multi-GNSS context, and without the need of external precise real-time products. This is the case, in particular, of the satellite clocks, which are estimated at the Wide Area GNSS network Central Processing Facility (CPF) referred to the reference receiver one; and the precise realtime ionospheric corrections, simultaneously computed under a voxel-based tomographic model with satellite clocks and other geodetic unknowns, from the uncombined and undifferenced pseudoranges and carrier phase measurements at the CPF from the Wide Area GNSS network area. The model, without fixing the carrier phase ambiguities for the time being (just constraining them by the simultaneous solution of both ionospheric and geometric components of the uncombined GNSS model), has been successfully applied and assessed against previous precise positioning techniques. This has been done by emulating real-time conditions for Wide Area GPS users during 2018 in Poland.
