Abstract | Ionosphere is a major error source of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO), this paper proposed a ground-based GNSS vertical total electron content (VTEC) constrained ionospheric error correction method, which accounts for the ionospheric asymmetry along the occultation ray path as well as the first- and second-order ionospheric terms. It combines the ground-based GNSS VTEC horizontal change information and the ionospheric model vertical change information to estimate the electron density along the occultation ray path, then calculates the bending angle first- and second-order ionospheric error profiles under the assumption of bilateral local spherical symmetry along the inbound side and outbound side rays. The GNSS RO bending angle first- and second-order ionospheric error profiles was calculated using MetOp-A and GRACE missions observation data and international GNSS service (IGS) GNSS VTEC data from a low solar activity day (i. e. , July 15, 2008) and a high solar activity day (i. e. , July 15, 2013). The comparative analysis shows that the empirical model consistent with the theoretical model in terms of the second-order Residual Ionospheric Error (RIE) and with the observation data in terms of the first- and second-order bending angle ionospheric errors. Therefore, this method can be used for those RO events with low quality L2 observations and even loss of L2 signal, to correct the first- and second-order ionospheric errors to improve the bending angle accuracy and the RO observations utilization. |
