2 OUTLINE INTRODUCTION GPS-TEC MEASUREMENTS IRI-PLAS MODEL PROBLEM DEFINITION OPTIMIZATION PARAMETERS IONOLAB-CIT RESULTS CONCLUSION 2
3 INTRODUCTION Estimation of 3D electron density in the ionosphere is a crucial problem for investigating the ionospheric effects on electromagnetic propagation. Two important tools are generally used for investigating the ionosphere: GPS-TEC measurements widely used in ionospheric studies very sparse and non-uniform for employing 3D tomography methods (illconditioned problem) Ionospheric models like IRI-Plas can estimate monthly averages of 3D electron density distributions not generally compliant to the real measurements obtained from GPS receivers. In this study, a novel method for estimating the 3D electron density distribution in the ionosphere by using both GPS measurements and IRI-Plas model is presented. Proposed method perturbs default ionospheric parameters used in IRI-Plas model over a region of interest by using parametric perturbation surfaces, and iteratively searches for the best physically feasible 3D electron density distribution, which is compliant with the GPS-TEC measurements. 3
4 GPS-TEC GPS systems can give a good approximation of the Slant Total Electron Content (STEC) in a cylindrical path between the satellite and the receiver. Turkish National Permanent GPS Network (TNPGN) consists of 147 settled GPS receiver stations in Turkey. The pseudo range and phase data obtained from the network are used for calculating GPS-TEC values by utilizing IONOLAB- STEC method. 4
5 IRI-Plas Model (1) International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) is a physical and empirical model of the ionosphere. IRI model can estimate the electron density profile in the ionosphere for any given location and date. International Reference Ionosphere extended to Plasmasphere (IRI-Plas) is an extended version of IRI and increased the coverage to the extent of km Height (km) Elektron Density (el/m 3 ) x

22 CONCLUSION Input parameters of IRI-Plas model are tuned in a way that the resulting 3D electron density profile is in compliance with GPS based STEC measurements and the input parameters are in compliance with each other. fof2 and hmf2 values over Turkey are both represented with additive surface models with 3 parameters. The problem is reduced to a 6 parameter optimization problem. GD, BFGS and PSO optimization methods are used for solving the optimization problem. BFGS method provided the best results. Results show that the proposed methodology provides 3D electron density distributions compliant with both real GPS STEC measurements, and ionosonde measurements. The proposed technique only takes the spatial variability of ionosphere parameters into account and does not consider temporal correlation of the optimization parameters. Future work will introduce the time dimension into the proposed method. 22
