| Abstract | Higher order ionospheric effects, which can not be eliminated through a combination of dual-frequency GNSS observables, can be significant for high precision positioning applications during geomagnetic
storm periods, especially satellite orbit and clock estimation from global GNSS network data. The largest part of higher order effects, the 2nd order, is estimated using slant total electron content (TEC) and modeled geomagnetic field components at
the ionospheric pierce points. Estimation errors of the slant TEC and modeling errors of the geomagnetic field can induce large errors during severe space weather conditions.
There have been a number of studies on the characteristics of higher
order ionospheric effects. Although insignificant during low solar activity periods, their effects are systematic with respect to Earth's North and South hemispheres. A few studies have also shown the impact on high precision positioning
applications. At the Canadian Geodetic Survey of NRCan, higher order effects are regularly estimated and monitored at ionospheric pierce points observed by more than 350 globally distributed GNSS stations. They are also accounted for in its GNSS
satellite orbit and clock products generation. In this presentation, impacts of higher order effects on satellite orbit and clock estimation are analyzed during geomagnetic storm periods. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
The part of ionospheric error that can not be eliminated using two frequency GNSS observations are referred to as higher order effects. These are being
regularly estimated at the Canadian Geodetic Survey. In this presentation, they are studied in the estimation of satellite orbit and clock parameters to improve high precision positioning applications of GNSS. |
