Applications to ionospheric research of data from vertical incidence soundings and GPS receivers

Currently ionospheric data are available via Internet through different World Data Centers. One of these databases has been developed by the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. Measurements of ionospheric characteristics (foF2, foF1, M(3000)F2, etc) and electron density profiles obtained from digiso...

Zusammenfassung:Currently ionospheric data are available via Internet through different World Data Centers. One of these databases has been developed by the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. Measurements of ionospheric characteristics (foF2, foF1, M(3000)F2, etc) and electron density profiles obtained from digisondes extended around the world are available on-line by means of the software designed by this Center. GPS observations obtained from the worldwide network of receivers are also useful to study the ionospheric behaviour. Many studies and applications can be developed from these two data sources. This paper shows briefly studies which were recently published by the authors of this work.Original Abstract: En la actualidad, existen diversos Centros de Datos Ionosfericos accesibles a traves de Internet. Uno de estos centros ha sido desarrollado por la Universidad de Massachusetts-Lowell. El conjunto de caracteristicas ionosfericas (foF2, foF1, M(3000)F2, etc) junto con los perfiles de densidad electronica provenientes de un elevado numero de digisondas extendidas por todo el mundo, estan disponibles on-line mediante el software disenado por este Centro. Una vision complementaria de la Ionosfera se puede obtener mediante observaciones recogidas por la red mundial de receptores GPS. A traves de estas dos fuentes de datos es posible desarrollar numerosos estudios y permiten abrir una gama amplia de aplicaciones. En este trabajo se abordan de forma resumida algunas investigaciones realizadas recientemente a partir de estos datos por los autores de este articulo.
