Abstract

GNSS ionospheric correction models for single frequency user are realized through the combination of the information of long term variation from available background ionospheric model and the real-time information from GNSS measurements. Method of ionospheric model driven by GNSS data and models for the driven factor are cores for the GNSS ionospheric model. A factor of Equivalent Irradiation (ER) is introduced for ionospheric model driven method, and a new model of the factor for prediction is put forward based on its temporal and spatial variations, including a linear term and a periodic term. Analysis shows that the relative accuracy of more than 70 % could be achieved for GNSS ionospheric model based on the new driven factor model, better than that of GALILEO realization which based on a three-coefficient factor model. The driven factor model in GALILEO is a specific realization of the new model when a simplification is used.
