Abstract

This paper shows a simulation process of retrieving ionospheric electron density from the Global Positioning System/Meteorology (GPS/MET) to examine the accuracy of the retrieval procedure for the COSMIC project³ during solar minimum and maximum periods. Results show that the error of the maximum electron density (NmF₂) is under 25%, and the error is greater in the solar maximum than in the solar minimum period. The mean error of the height of NmF₂ (i.e. hmF₂) is less than about 13 km and seems to have no correlation with solar activity.3A Taiwan-US joint project for Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate.
