在这项研究中，来自GPS/MET实验的无线电掩星数据用于探测高空电离层不规则性。这是通过在轨道上观察到的复杂电磁场的反向传播来完成的，同时考虑到地球磁场的方向。主要在F区域检测到不规则性。然而，对于一些掩星，它们在F2峰以上的高度高达1000公里或更高的高度被探测到。数值模拟的结果，所使用的算法的描述，并处理的GPS/MET数据的例子。
In this study radio occultation data from the GPS/MET experiment are used for detection of high‐altitude ionospheric irregularities. This is done by back propagation of the complex electromagnetic field observed in orbit while accounting for the direction of the Earth's magnetic field. The irregularities are detected mainly in the F region. However, for some occultations they are detected above the F2 peak at altitudes up to 1000 km and higher. Results of numerical simulations, a description of the used algorithm, and examples of the processed GPS/MET data are presented.
