Bassiri, S.; Hajj, G., 1993, "Higher-Order Ionospheric Effects on the GPS Observables and Means of Modeling Them", https://hdl.handle.net/2014/34918, Pasadena, California, USA, JPL Open Repository
Based on realistic modeling of the electron density of the ionosphere and using a dipole moment approximation for the earth magnetic field, we are able to estimate the effect of the ionosphere on the GPS signal for a ground user. Our study implies reduction of the second-order io... |
