Observation of Ionospheric Effects in the Polar Ionosphere using GPS-Radio Occultation and EISCAT Data
We present observations of the polar ionosphere obtained by combining radio occultation data from the CHAMP, GRACE, and COSMIC/Formosat-3 satellite missions and EISCAT data collected during the IPY. The large amount of data which is being collected during the IPY is an excellent data source for comp...
