Combination of High-Rate Ionosonde Measurements with COSMIC-2 Radio Occultation Observations for Reference Ionosphere Applications

Knowledge of ionospheric plasma altitudinal distribution is crucial for the effective operation of radio wave propagation, communication, and navigation systems. High-frequency sounding radars—ionosondes—provide unbiased benchmark measurements of ionospheric plasma density due to a direct relationsh...
