For ionospheric observing and monitoring, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been widely utilized. The ionospheric condition can be characterized by the Total Electron Contents (TEC) and TEC Rate (TECR) calculated from the GNSS measurements. Currently, GNSS-based ionospheric observing and monitoring largely depend on a global fiducial network of GNSS receivers such as the International GNSS Service (IGS) network. We propose a new approach to observe the ionosphere by deploying a GNSS receiver on a Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway (MTR) train. We assessed the TECR derived from the MTR-based GNSS receiver by comparing it with the TECR derived from a static GNSS receiver. The results show that the Root-Mean-Squares (RMS) errors of the TECR derived from the MTR-based GNSS receiver is consistently approxi-mately 23% higher than that derived from the static GNSS receiver. Despite the increased error, the findings suggest that the GNSS observation on a fast-moving platform is a feasible approach to observe the ionosphere over a large region in a rapid and cost-effective way.展开更多

文摘基于加拿大地区高纬度电离层观测网的电离层闪烁观测数据,分析了2018年8月26日地磁暴事件引发的北半球高纬度地区电离层总电子含量(TEC)异常变化、TEC变化率指数(ROTI)及电离层相位闪烁的变化特征.结果表明:加拿大地区最大异常值约6 TECU,磁暴引发全球电离层TEC异常峰值高达20 TECU;加拿大地区电离层相位闪烁发生率最大增至12.6%,而磁静日期间约为1%;强电离层闪烁期间,电离层相位闪烁指数与ROTI之间具有较强的一致性.对GPS双频精密单点定位(Precise Point Positioning,PPP)结果进行分析发现:无闪烁期间定位误差随测站纬度的增高呈现出增大趋势,但均方根误差小于0.4m;闪烁发生期间各测站的定位误差均显著增大,水平和垂直方向定位误差分别增至约0.9m及1.7m.
