      Accuracy assessment of regional ionospheric tomography TEC in China based on GNSS data

      • 摘要: 为了获取高精度的电离层总电子含量(total electron content, TEC)数据以便于可以更加深入了解和研究电离层的真实特征和小尺度的变化,本研究借助基于多星座GNSS数据的电离层层析技术对2017-09-05—15中国区域的电离层TEC进行了重构提取并进行精度评估。此次研究既包含电离层平静态又涉及电离层扰动态,从而为评估层析TEC的精度提供了充足的地磁环境。首先利用实测的多普勒卫星测轨和无线电定位组合(Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite, DORIS)系统斜TEC(slant TEC, STEC)数据与双频GPS STEC数据、层析STEC数据、国际参考电离层(international reference ionosphere, IRI)模型STEC数据、全球电离层地图(global ionospheric map, GIM) STEC数据进行对比验证。为了进行长时间大范围的电离层TEC统计分析,然后就以双频GPS垂TEC(vertical TEC, STEC)数据作为参考,将层析算法的VTEC、IRI模型和GIM的VTEC与之进行比对。其中,与DORIS数据对比结果显示:当电离层TEC平缓变化时,DORIS相对STEC数据与双频GPS相对STEC数据、层析相对STEC数据计算得到的均值均方根误差(root mean squared error, RMSE)都在1.3 TECU左右,而与IRI相对STEC和GIM相对STEC数据计算得到的均值RMSE分别在2TECU、2.3 TECU左右,故双频GPS STEC数据和层析STEC数据比IRI 模型STEC数据和GIM STEC数据更贴近DORIS STEC数据。与双频GPS数据对比结果显示:层析VTEC与双频GPS VTEC的最大相关系数为0.99,最小RMSE为1.39 TECU,而IRI模型和GIM数据对应的最大相关系数分别为0.87和0.97,对应的最小RMSE分别为1.95 TECU和3.50 TECU,故层析TEC在中国区域的精度优于IRI模型和GIM数据。

         

        Abstract: To obtain high-precision Total Electron Content (TEC) data for a more in-depth understanding and research of the ionosphere's true characteristics and small-scale variations, this study leveraged ionospheric tomography techniques based on multi-constellation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data to reconstruct and extract ionospheric TEC from September 5 to 15, 2017, in the Chinese region. The study encompasses both quiet and disturbed ionospheric conditions, providing ample geomagnetic context for evaluating tomographic TEC accuracy. Initially, real Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite (DORIS) system slant TEC (STEC) data were compared with dual-frequency GPS STEC, tomographic STEC, International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model STEC and Global Ionospheric Map (GIM) STEC data for validation. For extended and large-scale statistical analysis of ionospheric TEC, the study compared tomographic VTEC with dual-frequency GPS VTEC, IRI model VTEC, and GIM VTEC, using dual-frequency GPS VTEC as a reference. Results from the comparison of four different datasets with DORIS data showed that, during gradual changes in ionospheric TEC, DORIS relative STEC data had mean root mean squared errors (RMSE) of around 1.3 TECU when compared to dual-frequency GPS relative STEC and tomographic relative STEC data. In contrast, the RMSE values with respect to IRI relative STEC and GIM relative STEC data were around 2 TECU and 2.3 TECU, respectively. Therefore, dual-frequency GPS STEC and tomographic STEC data were closer to DORIS STEC data compared to IRI model STEC data and GIM STEC data. The comparison results of three different datasets with dual-frequency GPS data showed that the maximum correlation coefficient between tomographic VTEC and dual-frequency GPS VTEC was 0.99, with a minimum RMSE of 1.39 TECU. In comparison, the maximum correlation coefficients for IRI model and GIM data were 0.87 and 0.97, with corresponding minimum RMSE values of 1.95 TECU and 3.50 TECU, respectively. Therefore, tomographic TEC accuracy in the Chinese region surpassed that of the IRI model and GIM data.
