C. H. Chen, A. Saito, C. H. Lin, M. Yamamoto, S. Suzuki and G. K. Seemala:
Medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances by three-dimensional ionospheric GPS tomography.
Earth Planets Space, 2016, 68:32, doi:10.1186/s40623-016-0412-6.
In this study, the authors developed a three-dimensional ionospheric tomography using ground-based Global Positioning System (GPS) total electron content (TEC) observations. They evaluated their algorithm using the model ionosphere with Medium-Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (MSTIDs) and obtained acceptable results. The new design of their algorithm did not use a predefined ionosphere model; instead, they simply used the “least-square” method with a constraint condition to avoid ill-posed problems. This kind of algorithm will be highly useful for the reconstruction of the disturbed ionosphere.
