Features of Using Survey Receivers for Real-time Ionosphere Monitoring

P. А. Budnikov and V. V. Alpatov

The features of using survey GNSS receivers for real-time ionosphere monitoring based on high orbital ionosphere tomography network are presented. The related problems and solutions methods are described. The algorithms for calculating total electron content and scintillation indices, that allow reducing errors and noise, are proposed. Special attention is given to the methods reducing data loss during processing. A model of the electron content peak height used for mapping ionospheric parameters is also introduced.
