First step towards specification of plasmaspheric-ionospheric conditions over Europe on-line

Abstarct

The paper describes a procedure of the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) specification on-line over Europe intended to provide the vertical total electron content in an operational environment. TEC data are derived from the International Global Positioning System (GPS) Service for Geodynamics (IGS) signal phase and amplitude measurements at European ground station network. Specification here refers to the fusion and visualization of available observations into a map representation of the plasmaspheric-ionospheric state over Europe with a maximum delay of up to about 24 hours. It is designed for models of operations that include post-analysis and real-time.
