eSWua: a tool to manage and access GNSS ionospheric data from mid-to-high latitudes
The electronic space weather upper atmosphere (eSWua) is a hardware–software system that is based on measurements collected by instruments installed by the Upper Atmosphere Physics Group of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV, Italy). More recently, it has also included the Glob...
