Monitoring and Predicting Near Real Time Ionospheric Activities with Multi-satellite Data

电离层影响电磁波的传输，这可能导致用于通信、导航和其他微波系统的无线电信号的干扰或中断。该项目旨在利用多卫星数据监测和预测近实时电离层活动。预期成果包括：1)一种利用多卫星数据计算总电子含量的创新算法；2)电离层三维剖面图自动绘制软件包；3)提高对电离层事件的详细过程和原因的了解，这可以增强澳大利亚和世界的空间气象服务。

The ionosphere affects the transmission of electromagnetic waves, which can result in disturbance or intermission of radio signals being used for communication, navigation and other microwave systems. This project aims to monitor and predict near real-time ionospheric activities with multi-satellite data. The expected outcomes include: 1) an innovative algorithm to calculate the Total Electron Content from multi-satellite data; 2) an automated software package for mapping 3-dimensional ionospheric profile; and 3) an improved understanding of the detailed processes and causes of ionospheric events, that can enhance the space weather services for Australia and the world.
