I am searching for a program with which I may use ground-based GPS or GPS Radio occultation data to develop a regional three dimensional view of ionospheric TEC. Please share if you come across something, your advice or suggestions will help me a lot with my research work.
To,
Andrew Mazzella
Thank you sir for your suggestion. Unfortunately MIDAS is not available for distribution to other researchers as I enquired.
Hi Sampad,
You may try contacting Manuel Hernández-Pajares and Ángela Aragón-Ángel at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain. Perhaps, they could give you a hand.
Here there's an article from their group that you could find useful (at least for contact purposes):
M Hernández-Pajares, JM Juan, J Sanz (2000).
Improving the Abel inversion by adding ground data and LEO radio occultations in the ionospheric sounding. Geophysical Research Letters, 27(16), 2743-2746.
Regards.
Dear Sampad,
I am not aware of any institution that provides SW for deriving electron content from radio occultation events. I would strongly suggest you to implement you own SW. In this respect, I suggest you to consider my PhD dissertation as one referece to move forward:
Àngela Aragón Angel, 2010, Contributions to ionospheric electron density retrieval. Ph.D. dissertation. Doctoral Program in Aerospace Science & Technology, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain.
