Abstract
Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) broadcast at two different frequencies. These are usually used to correct positional measurements for ionospheric effects. Alternately information can be obtained about the ionosphere. A method for deriving total electron content (TEC) will be described. Observations taken in Boulder during January 1995 will be utilized and compared with Faraday rotation Both carrier phase and group delay will be used
