CEDAR email: Space and Ground-based TEC Techniques and Measurements at the 2022 Beacon Satellite Symposium

[David Russel Themens]

Total Electron Content measurements and modeling have formed a critical tool to studying the ionosphere and its coupling with the atmosphere and magnetosphere. We will be hosting a session at the 2022 Beacon Satellite Symposium that focuses on measurement techniques and new observations/networks of GNSS observations that contribute to our understanding of the near-earth space environment.

The conference will be held at Boston College August 1-5, 2022, and will include a wide range of topics on the use of beacon measurements to study the ionosphere and atmosphere.

I invite all those interested to submit an abstract for the below session at BSS. Full conference information, including how to submit an abstract can be found at the conference website: www.bc.edu/bss2022<http://www.bc.edu/bss2022>

Looking forward to seeing you all in Boston in August.

Cheers,

David Themens

Availability and quality of ground- and space-based TEC measurements are critical to ionospheric modeling efforts and data assimilative processes. A number of initiatives have led to deployment of ground observational networks capable of measuring TEC in regions hitherto dearth of TEC data. The increasing amount of available GNSS constellations, ground networks of receiving stations and altimetry missions able to increase the number of accessible measurements is an important contribution to the data availability. Space based TEC data are being used more and more to  characterize the ionosphere under different solar-geomagnetic conditions mainly through radio-occultation techniques. Differences in performance of different TEC calibration techniques remain a problem particularly when data are used for model validation or assimilation. The session conveners aim to get an updated vision of the availability of ground and space based high quality TEC data and their use to advanced characterization of ionospheric conditions. Authors are encouraged to present their results obtained using TEC ground and space measurements with special  attention to multi-station or regional coverage and estimate of data retrieval accuracy.
