Prediction of Transionospheric Signal Time Delays Using Correlative Techniques.

Abstract

Excess time delays of transionospheric radio signals introduce ranging errors in satellite-navigation and radar systems, which are directly proportional to the total electron content (tec) along the propagation path. Correlations of TEC values (based on linear regression analysis) at Fort Monmouth, NJ (40.18 deg. N, 74.06 deg. W) Richmond, FL (25.60 deg. N, 80.40 deg. W) were previously determined. The correlation analysis was performed at monthly and daily intervals for winter periods during the quiet phase of the solar cycle.
