Estimating the total electron content absolute value from the GPS/GLONASS data

When determining the absolute oblique total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere using both GLONASS/GPS code and phase measurements, there occurs a systematic error associated with the differential code biases (DCBs). A 1-ns DCB leads to the ∼2.9 TECU error when determining L1-L2 dual-frequency...

Description
Summary:When determining the absolute oblique total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere using both GLONASS/GPS code and phase measurements, there occurs a systematic error associated with the differential code biases (DCBs). A 1-ns DCB leads to the ∼2.9 TECU error when determining L1-L2 dual-frequency oblique TEC. We have developed an algorithm for DCB estimation from the data of a single GPS/GLONASS station. Presented are the results of the algorithm operation compared with the oblique TEC correction by using CODE laboratory DCB data.
